alison Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 I thought we had a dedicated thread for this already, but perhaps not [apparently not, so I've moved the above post in here too], so: On 12/04/2019 at 14:17, Lynette H said: The Barbican's Night of 100 Solos on Tues April 16th, celebrating Merce Cunningham, will be live streamed. Dancers taking part in London include: Luke Ahmet, Harry Alexander, Elly Braund, Siobhan Davies, Inés Depauw, Daphne Fernberger, Jonathan Goddard, Asha Gracia, Thomasin Gülgeç, Francesca Hayward, Hannah Kidd, Catherine LeGrand, Sophie Martin, Estela Merlos, Mbulelo Ndabeni, Michael Nunn, Rowan Parker, Elsa Raymond, Joseph Sissens, Beatriz Stix-Brunell, Toke Strandby, Asha Thomas, Billy Trevitt, Luc Verbitzky, and Benjamin Warbis. Details here https://www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/2019/event/night-of-100-solos-a-centennial-event 1 hour ago, Richard LH said: No longer live, but this is still currently available - I don't know for how long. https://www.mercecunningham.org/activities/night-of-100-solos/ Rather an eccentric 90 minutes, I thought, more to do with stasis than the sort of flowing ballet movement I prefer. I also believe dance works best with recognisable music, rather than random scratchy noises ! The work gave little expression of human emotion or interaction, making it difficult to feel empathy. I most enjoyed seeing the pink RB team, particularly Ms Hayward's umbrella dance and longer solo (yes, she is finally back!) , the striking Ms Stix-Brunell, and the powerful, adept, and up-and-coming Mr Sissens. 24 minutes ago, Lynette H said: The live stream events for the Cunningham centennial can all be accessed from here https://www.mercecunningham.org/activities/night-of-100-solos/ Includes the performances in New York and Los Angeles as well as the London performance.
