BIB Bijendra singh Tuned in as a gimbal operator, expecting some sick dance moves & dizzying spins! But surprise – the universe had other plans. 🕺 Call time? 11 am. First take? 3 pm. Reason? Let's just say our choreographer may have watched a few too many 80's dance movies last night... 😉 Dive into this comedy of errors & watch how we turned a potential blooper reel into a day to remember!

"The only way to do it is to do it" - Merce Cunningham Fall under the spell of one of Cunningham's most iconic dance pieces in this exclusive clip from Cunningham. Summerspace is indicative of Cunningham’s unique collaborative method, in which music, designs and choreography were all prepared apart from one another, meeting for the first time only at rehearsals - or even at the first performance. Together, the movement, music and décor give the effect of a balmy summer day in a boundless garden.

Choreographer Merce Cunningham’s “Scenario” premiered at the BAM on October 14th, 1997 as a collaboration with Rei Kawakubo. Kawakubo explained, “When the natural movements of dance are repelled and refuted, you get new forms.” See excerpts of “Scenario” in “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between,” on view through September 4th. http://met.org/2sk8RAl | The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
