Final Cunningham Repertory Understudy Group performance and workshop THURSDAY!

Join us for the Cunningham Repertory Understudy Group’s final performance and workshop in the Art in Odd Places: CHANCE festival on Thursday, October 7th at the Cunningham Studio (55 Bethune Street, 11th floor). Workshop begins at 3pm, Performance at 5pm.

The Merce Cunningham Dance Company’s Repertory Understudy Group will perform and offer workshops at several locations along and near 14th Street. They will be performing and teaching the work of Mr. Cunningham, who, along with musical collaborator John Cage, pioneered the use of chance and indeterminacy in the creation of his work. 

Guided by Merce Cunningham’s radical approach to space, time, and technology, the Merce Cunningham Dance Company has forged a distinctive Style, reflecting Cunningham’s technique and illuminating the near limitless possibility for human movement. For more than fifty years, MCDC’s collaborations with groundbreaking artists from across disciplines – including music, visual art, design, architecture, and film – have redefined the way audiences experience the visual and performing arts. The Cunningham Repertory Understudy Group is overseen by Director of Choreography Robert Swinston, and is comprised of four dancers: David Raphael Botana, Cori Kresge, Stacy Martorana, and Timothy Ward.
