Geoff Dunlop (published 1985)
Description
Geoff Dunlap discusses his career as videographer for the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, filming them for British Television. Mr. Dunlop describes Merce Cunningham as a singular genius who is consistent and ordered with an inquiring mind, always asking questions. He further describes Mr. Cunningham's work as a complex dialogue constantly interrogating what is an artist. Mr. Dunlop filmed for two nights in a theater with two cameras. He would have preferred two nights of rehearsal and four nights to shoot. Filming dance is one compromise after another and directors in dance are very restricted. This film was not trying to mediate between the dance choreographer and the audience.
