The Collage Aesthetic
Cunningham enjoyed using a collage aesthetic within his dances. He believed strongly in the unity of movement and fixed boundaries and enjoyed playing with timing and how bodies can form images with different positions. Collage represents his idea of overlapping image over image and allowing it to form its own picture within a bunch of others. Cunningham found that working with abstract body lines offers a lot of mobility and space to play with his movement and this is why Cunningham's collage theory is what made him stand out among other modern day choreographers.

I feel that Cunningham's Collage Aesthetic makes the movement more exciting to watch. Since Cunningham seems to do more stiff movement where certain positions are hit, it is important for him to do something that will enhance the richness of his choreography.
