Throwing it back with an excerpt from A DANCER’S WORLD 🌎 featuring the 1957 Graham Company and Martha’s wise words A DANCER’S WORLD sits in on a day in the life of the MGDC, diving into Martha’s theories about dance while showcasing dancer demonstrations of the Graham Technique. Preserved by the Criterion Collection, A DANCER’S WORLD holds the only remnant of Martha’s original choreography for CANTICLE FOR INNOCENT COMEDIANS, the “Moon” duet, as well as invaluable insight from Martha on her dancers and the Graham Technique. Fascinating! See more at patreon.com/marthagrahamdance ✨ #marthagrahamdancecompany #marthagraham #GrahamTechnique #genius

Stunning photos from @luquephotography capture the Martha Graham Dance Company's premiere of Agnes de Mille's RODEO - and launch of GRAHAM100 - at @thesorayastage last month. Vibrant costumes from @oanabotez, evocative stage design by Tony-award-winning @beowulfboritt, and a captivating bluegrass re-orchestration of Aaron Copland's original score by @gwitcher adorned our "exceptionally adept" dancers, resulting in a "masterful" performance, says the @fjordreview. "A hit in 1942, this new RODEO promises to have legs for years." The connection between RODEO and Martha Graham's Americana artistry is apparent. Agnes de Mille, a native New Yorker, was deeply inspired by Martha's bold individualism and pursuit of unique expression, embodied by RODEO's heroine, the Cowgirl (danced by @laureldalleysmith above). Throughout the 20th century, Martha and Agnes pioneered American art forms across concert dance and musical theater, leaving an undeniable impact that is felt, heard, and danced today. Stay tuned for more on our 2023-2024 season, "American Legacies"! #marthagrahamdancecompany #marthagraham #grahamtechnique #GRAHAM100
