I'm so glad someone posted this video on youtubeizzle!
It's Merce Cunningham's company in the 80s I think and they used this lighting designer that likes using natural light as well as stage lighting all in the same piece.

i know exactly who he is of course, but never have seen his work. i saw twyla tharpe's stuff -- but i'd much rather see merce cunningham. i have this idea that tharpe is a cunningham wanna-be. (i think she did the film HAIR tho, and that is pretty interesting stuff for camera.)

who i really want to see is Nijinski, but that homo is dead. have to settle for M. Bourne ;-)

Oh yeah, MC of ADF fame; he's in his 80s now way out-living his longtime BF compmoser John Cage. They used to collaborate on stuff all the time. Both geniuses.
