Description The first major New York season from Merce Cunningham and Dance Company offered eight distinct programs, each of which presented a range of works spanning 15 years of Cunningham’s choreography. The season included the New York premiere of two pieces which came to be regarded as classic Merce: “RainForest,” with décor by Andy Warhol, and “Walkaround Time,” which was inspired by Marcel Duchamp’s The Large Glass. Also notable were the musical guests for the Opening Night Benefit party: a then little-known band called the Velvet Underground.
