RainForest [and] BIPED [with panel discussion]
- "A brief panel discussion follows the performances of RainForest and BIPED. All of the participants speak French except for Trevor Carlson, whose comments in English are translated into French by an interpreter. Archivist David Vaughan speaks about the Merce Cunningham Dance Company's visits to France, about the creation of RainForest and BIPED, and about how Cunningham chooses dancers for the company. Ashley Chen speaks about his experience in the company, learning roles created for other dancers, and his feelings on returning to perform in his native France."
- "This disc begins with four TV news segments about the Merce Cunningham Dance Company's performances at the Paris Festival d'Automne; the segments include footage of performances by the company, excerpts from interviews with Cunningham (speaking in English and French), and comments in French from dancer Ashley Chen. Following the performances of RainForest and BIPED are fifteen minutes of footage of a reception at which Cunningham gives a speech, in French, discussing his company's historic ties with Paris and honoring the company's French presenter, Bénédicte Pesle, who is present and speaks briefly. The sound quality of these comments is poor."
