No Fixed Points in Space: Transferring Form, Time, and Narrative
between Architecture and Performance

The Cunningham Dance Foundation (CDF) will  present an evening-length
symposium exploring the intersection between the performing arts and
architecture and featuring two live performances by the Merce
Cunningham Dance Company’s Repertory Understudy Group. Co-presented
with Columbia University School of the Arts, Columbia University
Graduate School of Architecture, and Barnard Dance, the symposium,
will be held at the Miller Theater (2960 Broadway) on
