Elliot Caplan's 1996 "CRWDSPCR" documents the rehearsal and production of Merce Cunningham's dance of the same title, which was commissioned for the stage by the American Dance Festival and first performed in Durham, North Carolina, on July 15, 1993. In addition to documenting daily activity at the Cunningham Dance Studio while rehearsal is in progress, the film features Cunningham working at his computer using the choreographic software program LifeForms, as well as interviews with composer John King and costume designer Mark Lancaster about their process of designing for the dance, and company dancers discussing what it is like to learn movement generated by the computer.

MERCE CUNNINGHAM (1919-2009) was a leader of the American avant-garde throughout his seventy year career and is considered one of the most important choreographers of his time. Through much of his life, he was also one of the greatest American dancers. With an artistic career distinguished by constant innovation, Cunningham expanded the frontiers not only of dance, but also of contemporary visual and performing arts.
