Merce Cunningham Dance Company
“The
Cunningham dancers are among the strongest, most heroic anywhere.” The Washington Post
Called
“the world’s greatest living choreographer,” American modern dance icon Merce Cunningham shows his remarkable
genius with every performance of his company. Returning to Cleveland after a 23 year absence,
the Merce Cunningham Dance Company will feature three works that showcase the historic range of this masterful dance maker,
including the highly lauded 1970s work Second Hand which features costumes by visual
artist Jasper Johns and music by John Cage. Once a soloist for the Martha Graham Dance Company,
Cunningham is known as one of the most important modern dancers of the 20th century, and his company has been hailed as “a
complex ensemble, of contained, calm and devout energies.” (The New York Times)
