Summary
Merce Cunningham appears as a guest on the Dick Cavett show. Cunningham discusses audience reactions to his choreography; his views on the link between dance and everyday movement; the relationship between music and dance in his performances; the training of dancers in his company and how they perform his choreography without following music; the presentation of dance on television; the definition of modern dance; his company's experience touring in other parts of the country; how he began dancing, and the inspiration provided by his first teacher. The program also includes a video clip of Cunningham performing a solo, excerpted from the television program Dance in America.
