Hi Cam, I studied A level Dance many years ago and remember my syllabus revolving around the work of Merce Cunningham. I remember it being much more difficult than people gave it credit for. Notation was the bane of my life! Lots of luck with it! 😁
I’m guessing they will be looking at the effect his style had on popular thought around dance at the time. He introduced dance to a very different audience and made it more reachable. Before this you could compare to the types of audiences who would go to watch ballet. There’s a whole essay in there somewhere on demographics of theatre attendance in the first half of the 20th century! 😁😁 xx
We do cunningham this year ahah so I might be coming back to you on that ahah

Do not forget Fred Astaire as an influence. They were often compared as both excellent tappers. They appeared together. You can see them both here:
We dont study astaire as an influence as much. We skim over him in the history of jazz but we specifically study gene Kelly thank you though

Hi
I'm doing a level dance and I was wondering if anyone could give me some information on Gene Kelly and his influences... we have studied it and I have researched it but I dont really know where to focus my revision on in terms of Kelly's influences ??
Thanks
Cam
