Begin Anywhere is a response to the inspirations and methodologies of legendary American choreographer Merce Cunningham and composer John Cage. John Scott, the award-winning Irish contemporary choreographer who has had extensive dialogue with Merce Cunningham Dance Company across the years, and Mel Mercier, the Tony-nominated composer and sound designer—and an original musician in John Cage and Merce Cunningham’s Roaratorio—debut a new piece inspired by their shared histories within Cunningham and Cage’s artistic universe. This world premiere will be preceded by Four Solos by Merce Cunningham, an arrangement choreographed by Cunningham—Changeling (1957), Solo (1975) and excerpted solos from RainForest (1968) and Travelogue (1977)—presented in a continuous dance event with music by John King.
