Ah Merce… I loved the man as he always left a haunting, whispering impression wherever he was. I remember the last time his company performed in Charleston. He spontaneously joined his dancers in the last piece—creeping out onto stage and then disappearing in the blink of an eye. Merce made magic. Thanks for sharing.

I like that with your comment about you and your heart. Also, imaging those tortured people who left to the banging radiator music was quite funny! Nice tribute to him and an interesting analysis of his work. “Changes in dynamics that were sharp as a knife—spit fire foot work”—conjures so much of the energy required.

While I still do not quite get modern dance, this helps me understand the theory (at least the Merce Cunningham theory) which may, one day, lead to some understanding.
