time ::


legendary modern dance choreographer Merce Cummingham turns 90 tomorrow.

his newest piece, Nearly Ninety, will premiere tomorrow at the Brooklyn Academy of Music Howard Opera House, the same night as his company gala (if you're in nyc, tickets are still available by e-mailing tambra.dillon@gmail.com)

NY Magazine did a beautiful piece about Merce :: read it here.

not enough can be said about this man. beginning as a soloist for Martha Graham's company, Merce's own company was established in 1953 and he has since choreographed and produced over 200 pieces. his achievements have reached beyond what I'm sure even he imaged.
