Merce and Merce

Two great programs by the Cunningham company. It was was fun to see eyespace, where you make the soundtrack with an ipod. The first night, I did the authorized version. The second night, I added songs, but let them play at random.

* CRWDSPCR (1993) – Nonstop, vigorous movement to John King’s processed Dobro steel guitar score.
* Crises (1960) – Music by Conlon Nancarrow; costumes by Robert Rauschenberg; elastic bands connect one man and four women.
* eyeSpace (2006) – An intense precise piece that pushes Cunningham’s use of chance methods in new directions. iPods are used to disseminate Mikel Rouse’s score. Shuffle the score’s tracks on your own iPod* and enjoy a personal and distinct viewing and listening experience.

* MinEvent (2007) – A collection of elements from the Company repertoire combined in a unique performance.
* Fabrications (1987) – A powerful, extraordinary, foreign and almost surreal experience.
* eyeSpace (2006) – See Program A.
