If, as Godfrey (2007) believes, the methodological freedom accorded to art permits it to find a language capable of representing reality in a way that differs from traditional historiography, then Set and Reset offers a perfect example of this alternative historiography and of dance as a means of accessing history in synchronic and synesthetic fashion.engchoreography; historiography; Trisha Brown; postmodern dance; New Yorkjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.6093/978-88-6719-213-7
