Merce.Cunningham.Collection.Vol.1.DVD.nrg

EDIT 29May2006: The file is now fully distributed. Please enjoy!

Just found it. I would really like to get it... Merce Cunningham is one of the pillars of modern dance, and an interesting character on top of that... still working today, at the age of 80-something or whatever it is... he stopped mentioning his age, I think...

Right now, I cannot see complete sources, but the distribution of chunks among the different clients is very erratic, so it looks like it is being seeded. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for this one...

Merce Cunningham Collection: Vol 1

Deli Commedia (1985, 18 minutes, color)
Changing Steps (1989, 35 minutes, color, b&w)
Beach Birds For Camera (1993, 28 minutes, color, b&w)

A new DVD combines three classic video and film dances made by Merce Cunningham and Elliot Caplan previously available only on VHS. This DVD also features introductions to DELI COMMEDIA and BEACH BIRDS FOR CAMERA by Merce Cunningham. (DVD is non-coded, so will play in any region.)

Merce Cunningham Collection

DELI COMMEDIA Deli Commedia is conceived as a slapstick comedy, Cunningham's nod to the improvised farces of the Italian 18th-century commedia dell'arte and to the two-reel comedies of the silent screen. The score - "I Can't Go On to the Next Thing, Till I Find Out More About You," by Pat Richter, Cunningham's favorite class accompanist - functioned like the piano accompaniments to silent films. Sight gags, kinetic jokes, cakewalking, tango, lindy hop and imaginative juxtapositions of bodies, props and special effects figures in the choreography. CHANGING STEPS Merce Cunningham choreographed Changing Steps in 1973 and it was first included in a performance given at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York. In its original form it consisted of a solo dance for each member of the company, 5 duets, 3 trios, 2 quartets, and 2 quintets, which could be performed in any order, and separately or overlapping if space allowed. ''What made Changing Steps unique was the fact that it had a history... Black and white half-inch open reel videotape had been made during rehearsals in 1974 and I thought it would be interesting to use it, where possible. Sections are repeated in both the black and white archival material and the current color material, allowing the viewer to see the historic layers of the transfer of the choreography from dancer to dancer.'' Elliot Caplan

"Camera space presents a challenge. It has clear limits, but it also gives opportunities of working with dance that are not available on the stage. The camera takes a fixed view, but it can be moved. There is the possibility of cutting to a second camera which can change the size of the dancer, which, to my eye, also affects the time, the rhythm of the movement. It also can show dance in a way no possible on the stage: that is, the use of detail which in the broader context of theatre does not appear. Working with video and film also gives me the opportunity to rethink certain technical elements. For example, the speed with which one catches an image on the television made me introduce into our class work different elements of movement concerned with tempos which added a new dimension to our general class work behaviour."

Pues yo también tuve que cancelar forzosamente (debido a un reciente formateo. Malditas compañias eléctricas!!)

Me reincorporo de nuevo, y veo por lo menos una fuente completa.

As of now, I've got 95% of the DVD. The remaining 185Mb will be very hard to download, since the only complete source (from Atlanta, GA, judging from IP) does not share much... Oh well all the sweeter will it be once we get it...
