...enormously flexible format: each Event is tailored to the specific performing situation, while the range of the Cunningham repertoire and the almost infinite possibilities of sequence combination insure that no one Event will ever duplicate another choreographically.

"On the right, all the activists," Courbet explained in a letter to a friendly critic, "that is to say, the friends, the workers, the lovers of the world of art. On the left, the other world of trivial existence...
