The stage version of the filmdance “Coast Zone” was first presented in March 1983 as part of the company’s annual City Center season. “Of all the dances I have made for film or video,” Cunningham said, “this was the most difficult to transfer to the stage. To attempt to keep the sense of rushing, constantly transforming movement along with the large image the close-up presented in the camera, I found it necessary to add to and in some instances enlarge the ‘close-up’ movement into held shapes for the stage to make them appear against the continuous flow of the dance.” “Coast Zone” stayed in the repertory for just over a year. Sections were also danced in Events.
