"Merce-Art Forever!" project

Part II: A way into His story

Robert Swinston, dancer and Merce’s assistant for the past 19 years, interviewed by Foofwa d'Imobilité – August 5 2009 – Westbeth, New York – 82 minutes – translation in French by Léa Lescure, being edited as you are reading…

“I was expecting Robert and I to talk for twenty minutes maximum, but I love how this turned-out to be a two-hour telling of his story, History and Merce’s last years story. Shot ten days after Merce’s passing, it is an important document for whoever is interested in the inner workings of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company.” - FdI
