Much has been written and said about Merce Cunningham’s unique style of choreography, and his willingness to let different aspects of a performance progress on their own. “According to [Cunningham’s] rules the choreography, design and music are created separately and may be brought together as late as opening night, with the artists knowing little if anything about one another’s plans save the dimensions of the stage, the number and physical details of the dancers, and the work’s duration in time.”
