“Amores” was a duet for Cunningham and Tanaquil LeClerq made for a performance at Jean Hélion’s studio. “If you have three days to make a duet (this happened once in Paris with Tanaquil LeClerq),” Cunningham wrote, “do you worry about ideas or do you make a dance involving two people, a man and a woman, together.” The duet was performed with the first and fourth movements of an existing Cage composition also called “Amores.” Cunningham and LeClerq danced the work twice in Paris and once in New York; it was revived in 1953 with Carolyn Brown dancing LeClerq’s part.
