Merce Cunningham Dance Company: Nearly 90(2)

From the Performing Arts Center:

A celebration of the artistic achievement of the legendary choreographer
Merce Cunningham, The Legacy Tour showcases the seminal works from his career including the revival of seven dances from past Company repertory. This is the final opportunity to experience Cunningham’s choreography performed by the company he trained until his death in 2009. The company will disband upon the conclusion of the tour on New Year’s Eve 2011.

“Merce Cunningham reinvented dance, and then waited for the audience. … The elegance, simplicity and force of his work are unique – and undeniable … he has taught us something new and powerful about how to dance and how to live, and about the diversity of art in America.” – Mikhail Baryshnikov
