Trisha Brown remembers Merce Cunningham

Share/Save/Bookmark

A message received from Trisha Brown:

I am filled with great sorrow upon the loss of dear Merce. We all adored him. Merce and I were transports from the West Coast and shared a connection through our roots in the Pacific Northwest. Our houses were accustomed to speaking old Chinook jargon, a dialect of the Indian sea traders in Washington. It’s based largely on Nootka which is used as a lingua franca from Alaska to Oregon. For me, Merce will always be a Tillicum, which translates as "old friend."
