Well the weather did seem to reflect Merce Cunningham's ascent into the heavens on Sunday...There was a constant questioning of what kind of rain gear would be needed, if any, throughout the day... complete with magnificent sunshine, winds with racing clouds, torrential downpour, and a beautiful calm and clarity when it all ended. Will leave it to Alastair Macaulay to fill you in on my favorite master of the New York School.

Savion Glover shares baton with Jason Samuel Smith
On the Hoofer front: As Gregory Hines before him, Savion Glover, the man I indignantly defended to a dance critic in the Green Room at the Met many years ago and remain fervently loyal to has done his share as colleague-mentor extraordinaire. Jason Samuel Smith appears to be the next generation's tap guru. Glover is on tour in Vail and Birmingham this month and Smith's company A.C.G.I. will be doing their thing at Jacob's Pillow. July 22-Aug 2.
