BAM/PFA and Cal Performances present the Bay Area premiere of Tacita Dean's Craneway Event in conjunction with Merce Cunningham Dance Company: The Legacy Tour. Dean's film follows Cunningham as he rehearses his dancers in Richmond's visually stunning Craneway Pavilion over the course of three days in 2008. Craneway Event documents the construction of a dance but is also a portrait of the legendary choreographer at work during his last visit to the Bay Area.
