The Merce Cunningham Studio, located on the corner of Bethune and Washington Streets in New York City’s West Village, offers daily classes in Cunningham Technique™. Classes are taught at all levels by a variety of qualified teachers. As an active rehearsal space for the Company, the Studio is also available for rental at subsidized rates. There are two air-conditioned studios (the larger with marley and wood sprung floor) that can be used as rehearsal or performance space.

“My work, or at least what I attempt to do, is to take each person for what they are, both in the teaching and in the making of dances, and try to find out what it is they are as dancers, and make that come out.”

Merce Cunningham (1967)
