Merce in and outside time

Article Abstract:

The art of choreography developed and performed by the Merce Cunningham Dance Company retains its logic and visual rightness in a wide variety of productions. Although compositions appear random with an inorganic vocabulary, Cunningham choreographers and dancers provide a logical and transparent impetus for transition. This skill signifies the company's eminence in the field of dance.

William Forsythe: an American iconoclast in Europe

Article Abstract:

William Forsythe may be one of the 20th century's greatest choreographers. Forsythe began working with the Stuttgart Ballet in his 20s and has continued to work almost exclusively in Europe from then on. His company, the Ballet Frankfurt, will tour the US in Dec 1998. Forsythe's choreographing style combines action and unusual ideas, irreverence and tradition.
