Better known as Briggs Cage, the center was named after LeBaron Russel Briggs, former dean of Harvard College from 1891-1902 and president of the National Collegiate Athletics Association...

In 1910 Serge Diaghilev, the flamboyant Russian impresario and leader of the Ballets Russes, brought together Composer Igor Stravinsky and Choreographer Michel Fokine to create The Firebird; and Composer John Cage and Modern Choreographer Merce Cunningham have worked together frequently.

With his dinky voice and fake teeth, professing ardor in a gold lame jacket or smacking the dumbness out of his forehead, Charlie can endear or exasperate. Cage's brave turn teeters toward caricature, then tiptoes back toward...
