Thanks and Credits – Nancy Dalva

**at Dia Beacon, in the Warhol Gallery, with Merce Cunningham**

Thank you, Merce.
Thank you, Merce Cunningham Dance Company.
Thank you, Merce Cunningham Trust.

Thanks to James Klosty for his ravishing photos– the icons but also the marvelous unpublished novelties he has sent me. Sine qua non.

Thanks to the great British photographer Hugo Glendinning for the use of the magnificent late portraits of Merce he shot at the Roundhouse in London.

Thanks to the Estate of Oscar Bailey for the use of his photos.

Thanks to Peter Kayafas at The Eakins Press, where I am enjoying an alluring ongoing collaboration that began with a Dance Index celebrating the Merce Cunningham Centennial.

Note: The essay The Way of Merce (now updated) was first published by Patsy Tarr in her beautiful magazine called Dance Ink. My editor was Lise Friedman, whose point of view and insight as a former Cunningham dancer were essential. That essay’s title is now a portmanteau for everything I do here.
