< XOVER

This new work by the Company’s three founding pillars presents the juxtaposition of a legendary score by John Cage, daring new choreography by Merce Cunningham, with décor and costumes by Robert Rauschenberg, and the interpretive skills of a fearless diva. For Dance Company, electronic ensemble and singer.

“Here is a choreographer whose genius…is internationally recognized and honored. Even if one knows nothing about the underlying principles of his works, those works testify—through their purity, originality and complexity—to the integrity of a seminal giant in the field.”

– Alastair Macaulay, Chief Dance Critic,
The New York Times

XOVER is a co-commission of barbicanbite08, London and the Hopkins Center for the Arts at Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH. XOVER was made possible through public support by the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes a great nation deserves great art.

An “event” by the Cunningham company creating opportunities for dancing in unusual spaces. Site-specific, low production cost presentation.

“The point about Cunningham Events is that each performance is uniquely tailored to the venue where it's staged…. the constant genius of Cunningham's work is its ability to move into large mysteries…. The extreme architecture of the Event works its own magic. The pleasure of making sense of this Event feels like an intensely secret one - until you see the experience reflected on the faces of everyone around.”

–The Guardian 2003
