With his grace and style, Merce Cunningham was clearly one of Larsen Archer’s favorite photographic subjects. He taught dance at the college in the summers of 1948, 1952, and 1953. His artistic sensibility had a profound influence on the dance students as well as many other BMC artists. It was at the college that he formed the core group that would become the renowned Merce Cunningham Dance Company.
