The New York Times is reporting that Merce Cunningham, the titan of dance and interdisciplanary art, has died. Merce’s company is scheduled to perform in Chicago this fall, at the Dance Center of Columbia College, where he’s been a regular every other year for the past several years. While it’s too early to tell whether anything will change regarding the Chicago schedule, Cunningham was actively planning for a specific legacy for his company after his death, involving a two-year tour and then a closure of the company.
