The New York Times
takes note of the Philadelphia Museum of Art's much-lauded dance exhibition,
"Dancing Around the Bride,"
an exploration of the collaborations between Merce Cunningham and the artists John Cage, Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns.
Many moments in these solos are like the sudden exclamations and figures of speech that make some Shakespearean soliloquies so present-tense. As a dancer re-examines a step or a position — although there’s nothing that could be labeled acting — we might be watching the movement equivalents of Angelo’s “What’s this? What’s this?” in “Measure for Measure” or Hamlet’s “Ay, there’s the rub.”
Dance performances connected with “Dancing Around the Bride” run through Jan. 21 at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
