Merce Cunningham Dance Company

Merce Cunningham Dance Company is a group of fourteen dancers (seven women, seven men) who perform the works of Merce Cunningham, choreographer and artistic director, with the collaboration of contemporary musicians and visual artists. Merce Cunningham is widely recognized as the greatest living choreographer. Earlier in his career he was also one of the greatest American dancers. The activities of the company (rehearsals, performances, residencies, tours) are supported by the Cunningham Dance Foundation (Board of Directors, management, development staff, Archives, Merce Cunningham Studio) and by the generosity of government bodies, foundations, corporations, and individual donors.
