Merce Cunningham: The Legacy Tour
2011 Next Wave Festival
BAM Howard Gilman Opera House
The Legacy Tour
Second Hand, 1970
Choreography by Merce Cunningham
Music by John Cage
Costumes by Jasper Johns
Merce Cunningham
1966, 49:05, b&w;, sound
First composed and performed in 1965, "Variations V" is a true testament to 1960's experiments with "intermedia"—a coexistence and cutting across of artistic genres that profoundly informed Cunningham's choreographic practice. Video is materially integrated into the performance, with projections by Stan VanDerBeek and overlaid TV distortions by Nam June Paik enveloping the dancers. Twelve sound-sensitive electronic poles dot the stage; sound is triggered by the dancers' movements and then altered or delayed by the musicians. "Variations V" predates Cunningham's "video-dances," demonstrating a different moment in his relation to the technology.

Acclaimed choreographer Merce Cunningham (1919-2009) was a leading figure in dance for more than half a century. His work embraced critical avant-garde principles and challenged expectations around dance. By emphasizing form over content, Cunningham sought to reduce dance to its essential element: movement. Cunningham also invited chance into his creative process, accepting uncertainty over considered choices. Produced by Twin Cities Public Television in 1981, Cunningham sits down in this segment to discuss his methodology and how a vocabulary of movement fuels his way of thinking.

im Rahmen des Ballettabends b.15
Vor der pointilistischen, schwarz-weißen "Landscape with Boat" von Roy Lichtenstein entfaltet sich eine faszinierende naturhafte Bewegungswelt. Wie Algen in der Strömung des Wassers, Vögel treibend im Wind erscheinen die Tänzerinnen und Tänzer in ihren von Suzanne Gallo kreierten weich-fließenden und mit weiten Flügeln an Armen und Beinen ausgestatteten weißen Kostümen in einem nie abreißenden Bewegungsstrom. Die 1998 in Paris uraufgeführte Choreographie "Pond Way" zählt zu Merce Cunninghams sogenannten "Naturstudien", ein poetisch-kontemplatives Tanzstück von großer figurativer Kraft.
Als Merce Cunningham im Juli 2009 im Alter von 90 Jahren verstarb, endete auch eines der bedeutendsten Kapitel der Tanzavantgarde des 20. Jahrhunderts. Komponisten wie John Cage, David Tudor, Earle Brown, Walter Zimmermann, Brian Eno und Takehisa Kosugi zählten zu seinen Partnern, Bildende Künstler wie Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Morris, Bruce Nauman, Jasper Johns und Mark Lancaster waren seine Mitarbeiter. In engem Austausch und doch völlig unabhängig von ihnen kreierte der amerikanische Tänzer und Choreograph Cunningham seine Werke mittels Zufallsoperationen, inspiriert durch die chinesische Lehre des I-Ging: Unabhängig von der Musik, mit der sie lediglich die Spieldauer gemeinsam haben, unabhängig aber auch - und doch auf zugleich merkwürdige und unerklärliche Art miteinander eine Symbiose eingehend - von Bühne, Licht und Kostümen. Den Tanz begriff Cunningham als räumlich-zeitliches Phänomen. Von jenem von der klassischen Danse d'école imaginierten zentralen Mittelpunkt im Bühnenraum und Tänzerkörper wollte er nichts wissen. Vielmehr ereignete und entwickelte sich für ihn - einer These Albert Einsteins folgend - Bewegung in jedem Teil des Körpers und des Raumes: "Es gibt keine festen Punkte im Raum." Wenn es aber "keine festen Punkte gibt, dann ist jeder gleich interessant und gleich beweglich". Um den Tanz, die Bewegung, den Bewegungsfluss an sich ging es ihm - und um die Autonomie der einzelnen Künste.

In the spring of 1981, during a residency at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, choreographer Merce Cunningham and composer John Cage sat down to discuss their work and artistic process. As frequent collaborators, Cage and Cunningham pioneered a new framework of performance. Their novel approach allowed for mediums to exist independently, or rather cohabitate, within a performance, thus abandoning the co-dependent model of dance and music. Cage and Cunningham go on to discuss the methodology and motivations behind chance operations, a term used to describe artistic decisions based on unpredictability. Wanting to free himself of his likes and dislikes, Cage describes how Zen Buddhism influenced his work, leading him to use tools of chance. These new methods, adopted by both Cunningham and Cage, overturned a whole foundation of thought around music, movement, and the process of creating art.

Merce Cunningham, Elliot Caplan
1993, 30:01 min, color and b&w;, sound
Eliot Caplan's 35-mm film adaptation of "Beach Birds," a dance work originally choreographed for the stage, begins with Merce Cunningham outlining his approach to dance for the camera, and thus his vision for how movement behaves and how we see it. He explains that the piece is choreography adapted for the camera, which extends the sense of what dance can be. Cunningham emphasizes that stage and camera do not compete.
"Beach Birds for Camera" was filmed in 1991 in two different settings: Kaufman Astoria Studios and Industria Superstudio, both in New York City. One is filmed in black-and-white and the other in color. The piece opens with a close-up of the torsos and outstretched arms of dancers in black-and-white costumes designed by Martha Skinner. The dance is accompanied by "Four3," a piece written by John Cage for Cunningham's 1991 "Beach Birds." "Four3," based on Erik Satie's "Vexations," was played on two pianos, one in the hall and one outside, and a violin playing held tones. All four musicians added to the ethereal quality of the soundscape by playing rainsticks. As the stark opening notes of "Four3" sound, the camera zooms out and the viewer sees that their knees are slightly bent and their arms are swaying. As the piece progresses, there are few moments of complete synchronization of the dancers' movements. Instead the viewer's attention is pulled between different groupings of bodies moving at different paces. Unsurprisingly, the dancers read as birdlike. Their upper chests and arms are covered in black material in a way that suggests wings, while the rest of their bodies are clad in white. They stick their legs out and shake them, alternating between halting, jerky movements and fluid pliés. The audible shuffling of the dancers' feet at once complements and challenges the primacy of Cage's composition.

Mercier "Merce" Philip Cunningham (April 16, 1919 – July 26, 2009) was an American dancer and choreographer who was at the forefront of the American avant-garde for more than 50 years. Throughout much of his life, Cunningham was considered one of the greatest creative forces in American dance. He is also notable for his frequent collaborations with artists of other disciplines, including musicians John Cage and David Tudor, artists Robert Rauschenberg and Bruce Nauman, designer Romeo Gigli, and architect Benedetta Tagliabue. Works that he produced with these artists had a profound impact on avant-garde art beyond the world of dance.
As a choreographer, teacher and leader of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, Cunningham had a profound influence on modern dance. Many dancers who trained with Cunningham formed their own companies, and they include Paul Taylor, Remy Charlip, Viola Farber, Charles Moulton, Karole Armitage, Robert Kovich, Foofwa d’Imobilité, Kimberly Bartosik, Floanne Ankah and Jonah Bokaer.

John Milton Cage Jr. (September 5, 1912 – August 12, 1992) was an American composer, music theorist, writer, and artist. A pioneer of indeterminacy in music, electroacoustic music, and non-standard use of musical instruments, Cage was one of the leading figures of the post-war avant-garde. Critics have lauded him as one of the most influential American composers of the 20th century. He was also instrumental in the development of modern dance, mostly through his association with choreographer Merce Cunningham, who was also Cage's romantic partner for most of their lives.
Cage is perhaps best known for his 1952 composition 4′33″, which is performed in the absence of deliberate sound; musicians who present the work do nothing aside from being present for the duration specified by the title. The content of the composition is not "four minutes and 33 seconds of silence," as is sometimes assumed, but rather the sounds of the environment heard by the audience during performance. The work's challenge to assumed definitions about musicianship and musical experience made it a popular and controversial topic both in musicology and the broader aesthetics of art and performance. Cage was also a pioneer of the prepared piano (a piano with its sound altered by objects placed between or on its strings or hammers), for which he wrote numerous dance-related works and a few concert pieces. The best known of these is Sonatas and Interludes (1946–48).

Chance Conversations: An Interview with Merce Cunningham and John Cage
In the spring of 1981, during a residency at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, choreographer Merce Cunningham and composer John Cage sat down to discuss their work and artistic process. As frequent collaborators, Cage and Cunningham pioneered a new framework of performance. Their novel approach allowed for mediums to exist independently, or rather cohabitate, within a performance, thus abandoning the co-dependent model of dance and music. Cage and Cunningham go on to discuss the methodology and motivations behind chance operations, a term used to describe artistic decisions based on unpredictability. Wanting to free himself of his likes and dislikes, Cage describes how Zen Buddhism influenced his work, leading him to use tools of chance. These new methods, adopted by both Cu... -

Merce Cunningham
1966, 49:05, b&w;, sound
First composed and performed in 1965, "Variations V" is a true testament to 1960's experiments with "intermedia"—a coexistence and cutting across of artistic genres that profoundly informed Cunningham's choreographic practice. Video is materially integrated into the performance, with projections by Stan VanDerBeek and overlaid TV distortions by Nam June Paik enveloping the dancers. Twelve sound-sensitive electronic poles dot the stage; sound is triggered by the dancers' movements and then altered or delayed by the musicians. "Variations V" predates Cunningham's "video-dances," demonstrating a different moment in his relation to the technology.

Acclaimed choreographer Merce Cunningham (1919-2009) was a leading figure in dance for more than half a century. His work embraced critical avant-garde principles and challenged expectations around dance. By emphasizing form over content, Cunningham sought to reduce dance to its essential element: movement. Cunningham also invited chance into his creative process, accepting uncertainty over considered choices. Produced by Twin Cities Public Television in 1981, Cunningham sits down in this segment to discuss his methodology and how a vocabulary of movement fuels his way of thinking.

Vor der pointilistischen, schwarz-weißen "Landscape with Boat" von Roy Lichtenstein entfaltet sich eine faszinierende naturhafte Bewegungswelt. Wie Algen in der Strömung des Wassers, Vögel treibend im Wind erscheinen die Tänzerinnen und Tänzer in ihren von Suzanne Gallo kreierten weich-fließenden und mit weiten Flügeln an Armen und Beinen ausgestatteten weißen Kostümen in einem nie abreißenden Bewegungsstrom. Die 1998 in Paris uraufgeführte Choreographie "Pond Way" zählt zu Merce Cunninghams sogenannten "Naturstudien", ein poetisch-kontemplatives Tanzstück von großer figurativer Kraft.
Als Merce Cunningham im Juli 2009 im Alter von 90 Jahren verstarb, endete auch eines der bedeutendsten Kapitel der Tanzavantgarde des 20. Jahrhunderts. Komponisten wie John Cage, David Tudor, Earle Brown, Walter Zimmermann, Brian Eno und Takehisa Kosugi zählten zu seinen Partnern, Bildende Künstler wie Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Morris, Bruce Nauman, Jasper Johns und Mark Lancaster waren seine Mitarbeiter. In engem Austausch und doch völlig unabhängig von ihnen kreierte der amerikanische Tänzer und Choreograph Cunningham seine Werke mittels Zufallsoperationen, inspiriert durch die chinesische Lehre des I-Ging: Unabhängig von der Musik, mit der sie lediglich die Spieldauer gemeinsam haben, unabhängig aber auch - und doch auf zugleich merkwürdige und unerklärliche Art miteinander eine Symbiose eingehend - von Bühne, Licht und Kostümen. Den Tanz begriff Cunningham als räumlich-zeitliches Phänomen. Von jenem von der klassischen Danse d'école imaginierten zentralen Mittelpunkt im Bühnenraum und Tänzerkörper wollte er nichts wissen. Vielmehr ereignete und entwickelte sich für ihn - einer These Albert Einsteins folgend - Bewegung in jedem Teil des Körpers und des Raumes: "Es gibt keine festen Punkte im Raum." Wenn es aber "keine festen Punkte gibt, dann ist jeder gleich interessant und gleich beweglich". Um den Tanz, die Bewegung, den Bewegungsfluss an sich ging es ihm - und um die Autonomie der einzelnen Künste.

Merce Cunningham, Elliot Caplan
1993, 30:01 min, color and b&w;, sound
Eliot Caplan's 35-mm film adaptation of "Beach Birds," a dance work originally choreographed for the stage, begins with Merce Cunningham outlining his approach to dance for the camera, and thus his vision for how movement behaves and how we see it. He explains that the piece is choreography adapted for the camera, which extends the sense of what dance can be. Cunningham emphasizes that stage and camera do not compete.
"Beach Birds for Camera" was filmed in 1991 in two different settings: Kaufman Astoria Studios and Industria Superstudio, both in New York City. One is filmed in black-and-white and the other in color. The piece opens with a close-up of the torsos and outstretched arms of dancers in black-and-white costumes designed by Martha Skinner. The dance is accompanied by "Four3," a piece written by John Cage for Cunningham's 1991 "Beach Birds." "Four3," based on Erik Satie's "Vexations," was played on two pianos, one in the hall and one outside, and a violin playing held tones. All four musicians added to the ethereal quality of the soundscape by playing rainsticks. As the stark opening notes of "Four3" sound, the camera zooms out and the viewer sees that their knees are slightly bent and their arms are swaying. As the piece progresses, there are few moments of complete synchronization of the dancers' movements. Instead the viewer's attention is pulled between different groupings of bodies moving at different paces. Unsurprisingly, the dancers read as birdlike. Their upper chests and arms are covered in black material in a way that suggests wings, while the rest of their bodies are clad in white. They stick their legs out and shake them, alternating between halting, jerky movements and fluid pliés. The audible shuffling of the dancers' feet at once complements and challenges the primacy of Cage's composition.

Merce Cunningham, Elliot Caplan
1991, 95:55 min, color and b&w;, sound
This is a feature film traces the history of the collaboration of choreographer Merce Cunningham and composer John Cage, which began nearly 50 years ago at the Cornish Institute of Allied Arts in Seattle, Washington. In telling the story of Cunningham and Cage, award-winning filmmaker and Cunningham collaborator Elliot Caplan utilizes candid footage of their activities since 1983 from around the world, rare footage from the Cunningham and Cage archives, and interviews with principal figures involved in the collaboration. Caplan's daily contact with Cage and Cunningham inspired a revealing and sensitive portrait of two men whose spirit of adventure and iconoclastic thinking has revolutionized life, as well as art, in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
