A conversation with Alan Good

Article Abstract:

Alan Good, a member of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company from 1978 to 1994, feels it appropriate to call Cunningham's classes spiritual events, that Cunningham wanted students to feel a call to dance. Cunningham felt that dancers learn from watching each other. The Graham technique is helpful to a Cunningham dancer, who learns to value musicality, the ability to attack and even a kind of contortion. Cunningham's style was theatrical and to him performing involved discovery.
