Merce Cunningham, avant-garde dancer and choreographer, has died
Merce Cunningham, the avant-garde dancer and choreographer who revolutionized modern dance by creating works of pure movement divorced from storytelling and even from their musical accompaniment, has died at age 90, a spokeswoman said today.
German choreographer Pina Bausch, whose work is credited with revolutionising the language of modern dance, died Tuesday after being diagnosed with cancer only days earlier.
