Merce Cunningham Dance Company | Mondays with Merce

We invite you to join us in the Merce Cunningham Studio for Mondays With Merce, a series of webcasts available for free download beginning in late 2008. Each episode will include segments from Merce Cunningham’s Company Class, and rehearsals with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company. In addition, the programs will feature interviews with Merce Cunningham and his associates, including current and former dancers, artists and musicians, and also with choreographers who have been influenced by his work, and historical footage.

Stay tuned to this page for more information.

Subscriptions to a series of complete 90-minute Cunningham Master Classes will be available for purchase. Please contact jordan@merce.org with “Cunningham Master Classes” in the subject line for details on purchasing.

Cunningham Dance Foundation partners with New York University’s Moving Image Archiving and Preservation program to create Mondays with Merce episodes and to establish an archival center for this footage at NYU.

Mondays with Merce has been made possible, in part, by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, The Mary Duke Biddle Foundation, Booth Ferris Foundation, Pamela and Richard Kramlich, and the Rockefeller Foundation New York City Cultural Innovation Fund. Special thanks to the Bay Area Video Coalition and the Moving Image Archiving and Preservation program at NYU, and AudioVisual Preservation Solutions for their partnership and guidance in establishing this program.
