GUS SOLOMONS jr, Interview 8.12.2010

Interview with former Merce Cunningham Dance Company dancer Gus Solomons jr on August 8,, 2010.

MERCE CUNNINGHAM (1919-2009) was a leader of the American avant-garde throughout his seventy year career and is considered one of the most important choreographers of his time. Through much of his life, he was also one of the greatest American dancers. With an artistic career distinguished by constant innovation, Cunningham expanded the frontiers not only of dance, but also of contemporary visual and performing arts.
