The spirit of the Events: when Cunningham frees the dancer and the audience.
When Cunningham invented the Events in 1964, he had already freed dance of any subordination to music and narrative. All that remained to be called into question was the actual location of the performance, to bring dance into non-traditional spaces such as museums, public spaces, or gymnasiums. The great London-based Rambert Dance Company, which has regularly restaged Merce Cunningham works throughout its history, has delved into its repertory to revive the spirit of the Events, with music by Radiohead’s Philip Selway, surrounded by the work of painter Gerhard Richter.
