Cunningham incorporated into his choreography not only the appreciation of the human body, but the appreciation of life. The idea of "chance" was that it does not matter how a certain moment prepared and came to be that moment, but what matters is the moment itself and the beauty within it.

Merce cunningham is an amazing choreographer. He changed a lot about modern dance. He rebelled agnaist martha graham who's dance was all about meaning and the pain. But Merce was all about the human body, the appreciation for the human body which is simply amazing. I love his technique. Its a bloody hard technique to study.

Cunningham's work can seem strange no doubt. He very much believed in creating dance for dance's sake. There is rarely a story line, but it is more an appreciation of the human body and an experiment in the shapes and movement the body could make. There is generally no emotional climax in his choreography. You must appreciate the technique and the beauty of the human body to fully appreciate Cunningham.
