Merce Cunningham was a famous choreographer and dancer (since the age of 13) who created a genre of dance called dance by chance which relies on a toss of a coin or a roll of a dice to see what the performance will come out like.

Merce Cunningham's dance style varied. He didn't believe in having the dance rely on the music nor the music rely on the dance. Most of the time he flipped a coin and had each side of the coin represent an element of the performance he may add in. He worked with John Cage, his music producer/life partner, who's interest in Zen Buddhism influenced on the works of Merce.
