Description
This video features a Merce Cunningham Dance Company warm-up in Ida Noye's Hall at the University of Chicago. Presumably this was the open rehearsal on March 14, but evidence is inconclusive. John Cage is featured prominently in the video. This rehearsal is followed by footage from a Minneapolis performance, possibly Event no. 127 on March 21. For more footage from this tour, see *MGZIDF 1924 & *MGZIDF 1925.
