“The two factors that make “Nearly Ninety” exceptional, though, remain the choreography and the performances. Mr. Cunningham’s dance imagination actually appears more fertile than ever before. Onward!”
By dance critic Alastair Macaulay.
Nearly Ninety (minutes long) seemed that way to me too. I saw the final Sunday afternoon performance. The set lacked only sequins. “Pour” is exactly the right word here.

Look at Pond Way. It was choreographed in 1988 and is 22.35 minutes long. This is not a clip.
“Pond Way can be described as one of Cunningham’s ‘nature studies’ where the movement evokes birds, animals or landscapes. It is a lyrical, contemplative and sensuous piece, with the movement, according to Cunningham, being reminiscent of the game of skimming stones over a pond, which he loved to play as a child. The production is further enriched with a backcloth from the visual artist Roy Lichtenstein and a soundscape by Brian Eno.” ……NPR
