Selecting a Work
We work together to identify the right dance for your company, taking into consideration factors such as duration, cast size, production requirements, and previous experience with Cunningham work.

Finalizing a Project
Once a dance is selected, we will assign a stager, establish a schedule, determine a budget, and provide detailed information about sets, costumes, lighting, and music.

“It was an honor for us to work with the Paris Opera Ballet to bring back one of Merce's masterpieces 44 years after its last public performance. A signature work of stillness, and an exploration of time moving backwards.”

“It was a joy working with the strong and talented dancers of Ballet West. They approached the experience with openness, curiosity, and veneration for the dance Merce created.”
