“Galaxy” was a quartet of simultaneous solos danced by Carolyn Brown, Remy Charlip, Viola Farber, and Marianne Preger. The program note read: “The complexity of this dance and its music is in imitation of complex situations in nature, where, for instance, air, earth, fire and water act at one and the same time.” In describing his choreographic process, Cunningham said that he tried to keep each solo “separate spacewise,” and to make each one as different as possible. “It wasn’t made with chance procedures,” he continued, “it was made on the four dancers. I just made a dance for each one in that length of time, each one had not only different movements but different structure. They were made so that they could be done together or separately.” The costumes, designed by Charlip, were notable for their exuberant fantasy: Brown’s was decorated with feathers, Farber’s with many-colored buttons sewn to the leotard, Preger’s had a gold satin cape with lamé lining, and Charlip’s incorporated Indian embroidery with small pieces of mirror.
