It is hard to believe that it has been almost a year since I took over as Director of Licensing! There’s a lot of ebb and flow in the conversations and seasons of licensing, which makes it especially rewarding to see projects come to fruition.
One highlight of the past year has been seeing Cunningham’s choreography presented in so many museums, including the Art Gallery of Toronto, Black Mountain College Museum, Musée de l’Orangerie, Centre Culturel Irlandais, Centre Pompidou-Metz, and the Nasher Sculpture Center. I am especially excited to announce that Museo Rufino Tamayo in Mexico City will present Crises (1960) and Cross Currents (1964), performed by local dancers from February through April 2027 as part of an exhibition featuring composer Conlon Nancarrow.
Looking ahead to 2027, I am encouraged by the number of new schools licensing Cunningham’s work. It’s exciting to see this landscape expanding and to think about all the young dancers who will have the opportunity to experience Cunningham. More on these projects soon! Thank you to all the teachers and stagers who make these projects possible.
