Along with his life partner, composer John Cage (1912–1992), Cunningham explored this freeing notion by initiating cross-disciplinary collaborations with dozens of artists.... If you happen to be in Los Angeles LACMA has a show thru march 2019 - the centennial of Merce Cunningham is coming.. Mercier Philip "Merce" Cunningham was an American dancer and choreographer who was at the forefront of American modern dance for more than 50 years..
