Save the Merce Cunningham Studio

This petition was published by Christiana Axelsen on Sep 30, 2010

We, the undersigned, respectfully petition the Merce Cunningham Trust to establish the Merce Cunningham Center as the premier center for the study of the Technique and Repertory of Merce Cunningham.

We envision this Center as being an expansion of the Merce Cunningham Studio offering a full schedule of technique classes, professional training programs, teacher training, educational outreach, a repertory ensemble, exhibition gallery, and research institute. The Center would be located on the 11th floor of Westbeth encompassing the studios in which Merce Cunningham created over eighty works.

We ask the Trust to take the actions necessary to create this center in order to fulfill their important mission "to promote education and artistic development in the field of modern dance through instruction and performance of works choreographed by Merce Cunningham."

Thank you for your time and consideration of our request.
