“Touchbase” was a commission for Rambert Dance Company. Cunningham made the dance in New York, working simultaneously with three casts of seven dancers: two casts from his own company, and one cast from Rambert. As the title suggests, “Touchbase” was playful in feeling, though not referring literally to any particular game. Much of the movement was athletic, but as always there were stillnesses, including a striking tableau at the end of the dance. The design, by Mark Lancaster, included a double gate which the dancers opened and closed at various points in the dance. Michael Pugliese’s score, “Ice Breeze,” was a composition for hand drums, wind wands, surf drums, and waterphone inspired by his visit to Alaska on an MCDC tour.
