- Choreographer Merce Cunningham took chances. Over a seven decade career, his explorations reshaped dance into a new kind of art form, deeply influencing visual art, film, and music along the way. Through experimental collaborations with John Cage, Robert Rauschenberg, Marcel Duchamp, and others, he became the 20th century's most influential choreographer. In conjunction with the exhibition Merce Cunningham: Common Time, we look at the many sides of Cunningham: dance maker, collaborator, chance-taker, innovator, film producer, and teacher.
Tanto trabajo, tanta belleza y sabiduría. Una maravilla artistica para el mundo. Gracias.
Molto interessante, coinvolgente, viste dal vivo alcune di queste sperimentazioni portano all'oblio
I’m reading now the marvelous catalog-book of this important exhibition
one of the experimental pioneeers in daaaance.
Which videos are shown in this video? Especially interested in the one with douglas dunn, also the one at the end
Un genio, senza alcun dubbio!
The video tells us a lot about Cunningham's career, but perhaps more excerpts from his works would help. With all this telling it seems more subjective, though I suppose appreciating dance itself is a subjective matter. Even in these comments I see some people implying or stating that Cunningham is more renowned than he ought to be (overrated). Well, I'd rather be the judge of that
What's the music that used in last minutes of video, i want that !
Wonderful! Long live the Cunningham Technique! 👏🏻
If he had an opinion on capoeira I'd love to know it
I have been involved and dance education for 50 years. I really admire Merce Cunningham but I don’t really enjoy his work. And comparing him to George Balanchine it’s kind of silly.
Can't be the Parthenon if that is the ocean behind her. The ocean is far away from the Parthenon. Might be Sounion.
No citations. Tired of unexplanatory clips. Devalues the presentation.
Cunningham is great. But, come on... THE greatest of the 20th Cent.? Unnnh... Martha Graham was in the 20th Cent. Balanchine was in the 20th cent. Even Nijinsky was in the 20th century. Jerome Robbins was in the 20th cent. Bob Fosse was in the 20th cent. Of COURSE Cunningham is ONE of the greatest, and belongs in this company... but....
does any of the names have his dance technic? I heard of none except Graham - and that was too classically chained space concept for my taste, with some big contraction LIKES. Now looking at Cuningham again- dry as it is- also looks very classical- if I compare it with Akhram Khan's last performance. Some of the drills look so boring...for today's standards .. I just admire my teachers and their will to break our bodies into "Cunningham Common" . Did hurt a lot 30 years ago- right? Im just blessed not to start from classical ballet. Just a ballet dancer could write so much rubbish about Cunningham under this video.
I am only watching this because, I have an assignment from my Art Appreciation class. Whereas what I see in this meaningless performing is a waste of time.
congrats
Kind of
here! here!
Someone telling it like it is
He could be a lot and have given many names but for me it is not art. It is his craziness people buy. It is not dance. I would not pay USD 10 to watch any of his works.
you’re right it’s not dance. it’s art.
Who are you to define what is art and what is not? You can't just pick and choose. also there's a lot technique and physical and mental complexity in his works, it's not just "craziness"
Y u hatinnnn hata!
What a shame. then you'd miss the very beautiful "Duets".
He is Comunist! @@gustavonunes631
