Antic Meet

Performed like a series of vaudeville scenes that overlap Antic Meet consists of ten playful and comedic numbers The curtains opened with Cunningham moving among the other dancers as a clownlike figure who falls in love with a society whose rules he doesnt know and concludes much in the same way as he attempts to keep up with the dancers each with their own movements as they dance diagonally across the stage Cage provided the musical accompaniment using a version of Concert for Piano and Orchestra and Rauschenberg designed the costumes which included fur coats and parachute dresses over black leotards
