Summary
Chris Komar, a dancer with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, hosts a television program exploring the concept of rhythms in space. The program begins with a short solo danced by Komar. Mark Lancaster discusses his costume designs for the Cunningham company and Charles Atlas discusses the videos he created for the company and independently. The guests discuss the relations between visual and sound rhythms, and take calls from viewers. Video segments are shown, including excerpts from Merce Cunningham's Blue studio, Fractions, and Video triangle; Vertiges, choreographed and performed by Karole Armitage; and non-dance videos created by Atlas. The last segment is a video made by Komar and a Channel L production crew, in which Komar dances on the streets of Manhattan and in the subway, with music by John Cage.
