If the Dancer Dances
The museum will screen the local premiere of If the Dancer Dances, a documentary by former Mercer Cunningham Dance Company member Lise Friedman and Maia Wechsler, which ponders how to prevent the loss of dance masterpieces—which, if they're not performed, can't be said to exist anymore. The film focuses on the resurrection of Cunningham's RainForest (1968) by Stephen Petronio's dance company.
