Dancer, choreographer, director, visual artist and innovator Charles Moulton will read from his memoirs. Presented by Garrett + Moulton Productions, of which he is Co-Artistic Director with Janice Garrett, and supported by the Merce Cunningham Trust. The reading is part of the 2019 Merce Cunningham centennial year. Moulton will read stories about joining the Cunningham Dance Company at age 19 and performing Cunningham's groundbreaking and demanding work, playing chess with composer John Cage and creating work on Mikhail Baryshnikov's White Oak Dance Project. The reading is an opportunity for dance and arts enthusiasts to experience a first-hand account of launching a career with a prestigious American dance company that is still regarded as having changed the course of dance and art history.
