Merce Does Miami

"In many ways," says Macdonnell, "Merce in Miami does many of the things we set out to do here. One is to try to broaden the experience for artists and for audiences in Miami, to just give them a wider spectrum of opportunity, a chance to a see a different side of what is happening in the arts."

Macdonnell sees parallels between Cunningham's chance aesthetics and his own programming for the Carnival Center.
