Merce Cunningham (b. 1931) Back to Merce Cunningham in UbuWeb Film The player will show in this paragraph Pond Way (1988), 22'35'Music: Brian Eno Decor: Roy Lichtenstein Pond Way can be described as one of Cunningham's 'nature studies' where the movement evokes birds, animals or landscapes. It is a lyrical, contemplative and sensuous piece, with the movement, according to Cunningham, being reminiscent of the game of skimming stones over a pond, which he loved to play as a child. The production is further enriched with a backcloth from the visual artist Roy Lichtenstein and a soundscape by Brian Eno. RESOURCES: This UbuWeb resource was edited by Stephen McLaughlin |
