The collaboration between Merce Cunningham and John Cage was just fabulous. I was lucky to experience Merce Cunningham's choreorgaphies twice in person, at the Barbican Center in London, in the early 2000's before he passed away. Knowing James Freeman's history as a classical musician and his quirky take on presenting a slide show the way Cunningham and cage collaborated made my day. Now I am much more likely to make my way to the nearest Bluebottle. - I haven't been since 2015 (there may have been a cooler-than-cool unfriendly barista involved ..)
Very interesting talk from a real leader in his industry; it’s so enriching to hear these stories and ideas from the man himself. Also, I think Will Ferrel MUST play Mr. Freeman in his inevitable biopic. I might start that petition.

Amazing
koreography ??? Stanford koreographers ????
Prob a shame he’s not more involved in the day to day anymore. Not nicest company to work for. The baristas are treated like pieces of meat.
I went to one in a mall in upstate NY. Very bitter retail workers there that day.
