To celebrate the centennial of dancer/choreographer Merce Cunningham, CAP UCLA is participating with venues in New York and London for Night of 100 Solos. The local event will be at Royce Hall on Tuesday, April 16th at 8 PM.
The show will be 90 minutes and will feature 100 solos choreographed by Cunningham. The performance will feature live music and a unique set. Similar programs will take place at London’s The Barbican and New York’s Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM).
