Merce Cunningham was an American dancer and choreographer. He was born in Centralia, Washington in 1919 and died in New York City in 2009. He is considered one of the most influential choreographers of the 20th century. He is known for his innovative and experimental work, which often decoupled dance from music and incorporated chance operations. He collaborated with many artists, including John Cage, Robert Rauschenberg, and Jasper Johns. His work has had a profound impact on the development of modern dance.

You have to love dancing to stick to it. It gives you nothing back, no manuscripts to store away, no paintings to show on walls and maybe hang in museums, no poems to be printed and sold, nothing but that single fleeting moment when you feel alive.
