Pictures 1984
One of the most striking elements of

Mark Lancasters dcor was the

lighting, which shown against the
backcloth, capturing the dancers
movements like photographic images
taken by a still camera. Cunninghams
choreography for Pictures frequently
isolated small groups of dancers, in
intricate, linked poses, as in when the
last flash of light hit the stage, and
Cunningham lifted the motionless
body of Patricia Lent, then the newest
member of the company, and held
her horizontally, as if it were the last
image in a photo album. Lancasters
costumes were gray or black leotards
and blue sweatpants. The musical
score by David Behrman was
performed by Takehisa Kosugi.
