Emerson College at Bright Family Screening Room

This film traces Merce Cunningham's artistic evolution over three decades of risk and discovery (1944–1972), from his early years as a struggling dancer in postwar New York to his emergence as one of the world’s most visionary choreographers. The 3D technology weaves together Merce's philosophies and stories, creating a visceral journey into his innovative work. A breathtaking explosion of dance, music, and never-before-seen archival material.

Discussion with director Alla Kovgan and Alissa Cardone Associate Professor of Dance, Boston Conservatory at Berklee to follow.
