We visit The Dance Center, home of the Mark Morris Dance Group, and go behind the scenes to the choreographer's office, where he discusses his long experience of Merce Cunningham's work and some remembrances of Merce himself. See footage of the Mark Morris Hard Nut, a favorite of Merce's, and original footage of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company in performances Morris himself attended.
