Summary/Abstract: The author describes a performance by the Brown Dance Company at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in late January/early February 2012, where Trisha Brown said farewell to the public; this was also a sort of homage to the artist. The program was made up of four choreographies, gathered to show the diversity of her work from 1966 to 2011. Sosnowska stresses Brown's major achievement in going beyond modern dance and creating a postmodern dance, and describes the circumstances in which the various choreographies were presented in New York.
