an admission: I never used to like merce cunningham all that much until tonight.
I don't mean like as in not respect or understand why he is canonical and important and an undeniable genius: I mean there was something I guess I couldn't get over about the aesthetics and the movement itself and the sneaky little merce cunningham showing up in your own film in blue pyjamas and swimming your hands around things. and suddenly tonight I was watching his stuff on ubuweb and like, oh, I get it. I can't explain it much beyond that.
