In honor of Merce Cunningham’s centennial, New York City Ballet took on one of Cunningham’s beloved works, Summerspace. Last night, Adrian Danchig-Waring, Andrew Veyette, Sara Adams, and Abi Stafford embodied the Cunningham technique in this spacious work that was last performed two decades ago.

"The only way to do it is to do it" - Merce Cunningham Fall under the spell of one of Cunningham's most iconic dance pieces in this exclusive clip from Cunningham. Summerspace is indicative of Cunningham’s unique collaborative method, in which music, designs and choreography were all prepared apart from one another, meeting for the first time only at rehearsals - or even at the first performance. Together, the movement, music and décor give the effect of a balmy summer day in a boundless garden.
