Synopsis
Eleven dancers perform in "Beach Birds," a work choreographed by Merce Cunningham. The dance features a fluid rhythm, allowing sections to vary in length. John Cage composed the accompanying music, while Marsha Skinner designed the costumes and backdrop. The dancers wear identical white leotards and black gloves. Skinner’s backdrop consists of a white scrim that changes color and intensity, mimicking the light from dawn to dusk on a beach. The choreography emphasizes individual movement, resembling a flock of birds taking flight.
