Merce Cunningham, artistic director
The Legacy Tour

Presented in partnership with the Department of Theatre and Dance

Texas Performing Arts offers one last opportunity to experience the Merce Cunningham Dance Company. In this triumphant final tour, the renowned contemporary dance company showcases the genre-changing works created by its founder, as performed by the men and women he trained. Cunningham, who died on July 26, 2009, conceived the tour as a final preservation of his legacy as the company’s activities drew to a close. The company, performing an evening of Cunningham’s greatest works, will disband after this two-year tour.
