Merce Cunningham

Alas we had to skip AFS tonight because we had tickets to Merce Cunningham at Bass Concert Hall.  We subscribed to the Texas Performing Arts 2010-2011 season and this was the last of our selections (8 in all). Tonight like the other performance events absolutely did not disappoint.  This performance was part of The Legacy Tour.   All of the dancers have been trained by MC and the two year tour  gave audiences the opportunity to see them perform before the company disbands in Dec 2011 when they perform in NYC.      Merce Cunningham requested that the tkts be priced at $10 for the final performance.  Music by John Cage, costumes by Jasper Johns, and Decor by Robert Rauschenberg.  How NY can you get?  The audience loved, loved, loved it.  The end of an era it seems.
