Among being an American modern dancer and choreographer, Merce Cunningham can also be seen as an inventor. Not only has he taken the common dance-standards and turned them 180 degrees, he also managed to take the performance apart by treating the supporting music as such, that does not have to go hand in hand with his choreographies. My proposal is based on Merce’s idea of chance and taking risks, making some spaces visible and others hidden. As well as including a wide range of light and shadows.
