If you know anything about modern dance, you’ve probably heard of Merce Cunningham. He invented the Cunningham technique, which looks a little bit like if yoga and ballet had a baby, and just about changed modern dance forever. Now there’s a chance to catch some of the works created by one of contemporary dance’s earliest pioneers as part of the Dance Reflections festival. Lyon Opera Ballet will perform a double bill of Cunningham at Sadler’s Wells this March. In BIPED dancers explore what it means to move on two feet, while Beach Birds looks at coupledom, and was inspired by Cunningham’s long relationship and creative partnership with composer John Cage.
