ENCOUNTER:MERCE Musicollage: A Happening by CCRMA and Friends

Developed at Black Mountain College by Cunningham and lifelong creative partner John Cage, the “happening” was an experimental coming-together of music and dance in unlikely settings. Come to a present-day happening, as presented by Stanford students and faculty from the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) who have been researching and creating music using methods developed by Cage. The musicians will be joined by dancers from Cunningham's company to carry the tradition of the happening late into the night! (Following Black Mountain College: An Experiment in Art)

This is event is part of Encounter:Merce, Stanford's campus-wide interdisciplinary exploration through the arts, focusing on the life and art of Merce Cunningham, legendary choreographer, dance innovator, and artistic thinker.
