Over the weekend Dance Umbrella‘s celebration of American choreographer, Trisha Brown, took place at Queen Elizabeth Hall in London’s Southbank Centre. Floor of the Forest was first choreographed by Brown in 1970. Using a lattice work of ropes with clothes threaded through and attached to poles about 5 foot off the ground, dancers from Candoco and Laban slowly dressed and undressed themselves moving across the webbed structure like huge spiders stalking their prey.
