Summary Looking back at her life and career, Trisha Brown reminisces about her childhood in Washington State, particularly her dance studies with Marian Hageage ; her studies at Mills College ; working with Anna Halprin in San Francisco ; participating in Robert Ellis Dunn's dance workshops and Judson Dance Theater in New York in the 1960s. She recalls the lack of opportunities for young choreographers at the time ; her search for her own language in dance ; and the formation of her company in 1970. She enumerates some cycles identifiable in her choreographic oeuvre ; describes the training, diet, and passion for dance that have sustained her as a dancer ; discusses what constitutes the "Trisha Brown technique" ; and tells an anecdote about Robert Rauschenberg's conception of the piece If You Couldn't See Me, which is illustrated by a performance excerpt danced by Brown. Other works discussed include Man Walking Down the Side of a Building, Floor of the Forest, and Trillium
