Description

Merce Cunningham and the Modernizing of Modern Dance is a comprehensive examination of the life and work of one of the twentieth century's most influential choreographers and dancers. This study goes beyond biography to explore Cunningham's artistic evolution within the broader context of American cultural development. The author traces personal encounters with Cunningham's dances spanning from the late 1960s through the experimental productions of the 1980s and 1990s, documenting how Cunningham redirected modern dance away from the emotionally-driven, subjective aesthetic pioneered by Martha Graham toward a distinctive new classicism. The book establishes Cunningham's central position in dance history whilst examining his revolutionary approach to movement, composition, and the relationship between dance and music.
