Merce Cunningham Event

Our first app for the iPad, Merce Cunningham Event, is a tribute to the legendary choreographer (1919–2009) that combines live-action video, interviews and historic dance photography originally developed in collaboration with Cunningham. The app is available for free downloads through iTunes, building upon Cunningham’s lifelong interest in using technology to present dance in new ways.
