As a former semi-professional modern dancer in my late teens, I absolutely idolized Merce Cunningham. I performed in the same theater that his company performed at regularly in NYC and it was such a thrill for me! I’m kinda gobsmacked that Sutton Stracke HAS HIS ASHES✨🥹

I’ll admit I’ve never heard of him before. Very cool for you to have this gentleman spoken about on a show you probably never expected

Absolutely never! He was a pioneer of modern dance along with Alvin Ailey, we all performed in the same small theaters back in the day in NYC

My kids’ dance studio (pre-professional) has a studio named after him. I felt the same way

I didn’t know you were a dancer! It’s all I have ever done and known. I’m a “bunhead” but had lots of modern training early on as well. I missed tonight’s episode and now I’m dying to know why she has his ashes? Since she too was a bunhead I’m surprised but very curious to know🩰

She does! (I’m behind). How?!?!
I have a signed poster of him in my office (from before I worked there but it’s my pride and joy)
