Floor of the Forest was one of the first pieces we viewed. Housed in a museum space, it reminded me of some of the performance pieces from the 1960s. Trisha Brown from Aberdeen, South Dakota created this dance piece. Brown was a dancer and choreographer in the early 60s. According to the catalogue, she explores everyday movements and place, their function and their substance. In this piece, you see dancers who travel through an "undulating sea" of fabrice. They step in and out of clothing and move along the ropes. Well, I, for one, could not really get into this. To me, the dancers' movements seemed very awkward and I could not connect with them or, for that matter, anyone else in the space. They were given a prominent location in the Museum Fridericianum. You can see more photos of these piece if you are interested.
