The loss of another great.

Yet another monumental talent has passed. The amazing Merce Cunningham has passed on, arguably the greatest living choreographer in the world peacefully departed Sunday at the age of Ninety. Having danced into his 70's and having remained active in his art as a teacher and choreographer up until the time of his death, the dance world is a little dimmer today without his genius.

One other important thing I learned..he was born in my home town, Centralia Wa. I never knew anyone famous came from my little town..you think I would have heard of him before now.

Sage- he indeed was a genius. What?? No statue or anything at all? That's kind of odd.

Did you hear the interview with him on Fresh Air? He was so charming and intelligent! His partner John Cage was on it too. If you haven't heard it, it's worth a listen on line.
