Merce Cunningham

Thank you Merce, for giving the world so many beautiful examples through your work- on how to move through space and time with grace, agility, fearlessness, and humor. Thank you also for embracing new media in the art of dance. You will forever be an inspiration. My condolences to your loved ones.

What a wonderful dancer and amazing man. I saw him perform in Tokyo several years ago. Amazing. Just marvelous.

Sadly, I learn of Merce Cunningham's passing. He was a multi-talented genius who made great contributions to numerous art forms, which will long be remembered. Never having met him, I learned of his talents through a dear friend, Jane Moak Yockel, who touted his numerous abilities. His legacy lives on. Our prayers are with his family and friends.

I'm so sorry to hear of Cunningham's passing. Death is a hard thing to deal with,so my prayers are for his family at this bereaved time. Because of sin, death spread to all men. But God gives life, their is hope for Merce to be resurrected through our Lord Jesus Christ.

One of the most joyous experiences in my life was as a young teenager working with you, Merce, and John Cage at the Connecticut College Dance Festival. I was a ballet dancer at that point but you changed my perception of music and movement. I remember being in the air on the downbeats. Everything was new for me and I was dazzled by your creativity. I will love you and John forever.

May the family have comfort in knowing that God promise that he will wipe out every tear from our eyes,and death will be no more,neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.The former things have passed away.
