Merce in and outside time

Article Abstract:

The art of choreography developed and performed by the Merce Cunningham Dance Company retains its logic and visual rightness in a wide variety of productions. Although compositions appear random with an inorganic vocabulary, Cunningham choreographers and dancers provide a logical and transparent impetus for transition. This skill signifies the company's eminence in the field of dance.

William Forsythe: an American iconoclast in Europe

Forsythe's choreographing style combines action and unusual ideas, irreverence and tradition.
