Celebrating the Vision of Merce Cunningham (NY Times)
" dance gives one nothing concrete in return, to paraphrase one of his most famous comments, only the pleasure of doing and seeing it. His dances are like small and large worlds whose mysterious daily events unfold in real time on the stage, with the viewer welcome to enter and explore without a map."
I am so grateful that Ann took me to see the Cunningham Company all those years ago. If you don't approach this sort of thing with a completely open mind, with all preconceptions of what is and what should be put aside, you just won't get it. But if you let go of all of that, the work of great choreographers can enrich your life in ways that no other art form can. Thank you Ann. Thank you Merce.
