“Labyrinthian Dances” was a dance in four parts, with music by the Viennese composer Joseph Matthias Hauer. The title of the dance was taken from one of Hauer’s compositions for piano four hands. The subtitle of the dance, “area without exit,” referred to the spatial organization. “The dancers never left the stage, it was as though they were inside some kind of square,” Cunningham explained, “I liked the idea of an area that you can’t get out of, but it’s full of passage-ways, like a maze – there’s no escape, but you don’t really know that.” The dance was performed only six times.
