The Joyce Theater welcomes Lyon Opera Ballet to its stage March 9-14. In addition to works by Maguy Marin and William Forsythe, the company will perform Merce Cunningham’s “Beach Birds.” Cunningham also choreographed “Beach Birds for Camera,” a version of the staged work created specifically for film that takes advantage of the flexibility of space and perspectives.

Listen in as Cunningham introduces the work made for film and provides interesting perspectives on why “the two media do not complete [as] each abides in its own territory” before you watch the video.
