Studio Wayne McGregor hosts Merce Cunningham Centennial Residency in London
'Merce Cunningham was a choreographer whose curiosity, sense of adventure and seamless collaboration knew no bounds.'
- Wayne McGregor
On April 16, 2019 - the late, legendary American choreographer Merce Cunningham’s 100th birthday - the largest Cunningham Event ever staged will take place in London, New York City, and Los Angeles called Night of 100 Solos: A Centennial Event.
We are delighted to be supporting the Merce Cunningham Trust through our FreeSpace programme by providing space and facilities for rehearsals for the London performance. In exchange, the Trust will host the Merce Cunningham Centennial London Residency at Studio Wayne McGregor in February and March 2019.
The residency features a comprehensive series of inspiring workshops, open rehearsals and company classes, which will allow our local east London community, and the greater London community, rare and exciting opportunities to engage with the work of this great choreographer.
All free and ticketed events for the Merce Cunningham Centennial London Residency are on sale now. Click here to book.
