John Scott Dance: Begin Anywhere

Irish Arts Center presents the world premiere of its commissioned collaboration between Dublin's John Scott Dance and composer Mel Mercier: a tribute to the legacy of modern dance master Merce Cunningham and his partner, the pioneering avant-garde composer John Cage. Mercier performs his own score with three other musicians; the piece also incorporates recorded voices of former members of the Cunningham's company. The evening also includes four solo works by Cunningham himself—Changeling (1957), Solo (1975) and excerpts from RainForest (1968) and Travelogue (1977)—set to music by John King and performed by Morgan Amirah Burns, Boris Charrion and François Malbranque.
