Description
One of Cunningham's nature studies, Pond Way evokes the trickling effect of water, as dancers move in wave-like motions across the stage, timing their movements so that one begins just after another. The movement was inspired by Cunningham's childhood game of skimming stones across a pond. Suzanne Gallo designed the costumes: loose fitting white tops and pants. The décor was a patterned backcloth, reminiscent of bubbles of water, based on Roy Lichtenstein's painting Landscape with Boat. Brian Eno composed the soundscape. — Merce Cunningham Trust
