Carolyn Brown, one of the most renowned dancers of the last halfcentury, lived at the center of New York's bold and vibrant artistic community, which included not only dancers and choreographers but composers and painters as well. Brown's memoir recounts her own remarkable twentyyear tenure with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company and provides a firsthand account of a pivotal period in twentiethcentury art.From the 1950s to the 1970s, Brown developed close relationships with musical director John Cage and setdesigner Robert Rauschenberg and with Cunningham himself. Brown's memoir reveals the personal dynamics between the reserved and moody Cunningham and the playful and ebullient Cage, as well as the controversial yet undeniably brilliant creativity that resulted when the two collaborated. Brown relates the company's rise from its cashstrapped early years when the group traveled by VW bus to perform in small venues to the 1964 world tour that left the group exhausted but finally brought them largescale acclaim.A unique chronicle of the avantgarde's struggle for acceptance, Brown's memoir provides a riveting firsthand account of a littledocumented era in modern dance that nonetheless had a tremendous impact on the course of art in the twentieth century.
