Martha Graham was not only a legendary dancer, choreographer, and teacher. She was an absolute game-changer. Before, her dance was mainly something entertaining to watch and pretty to look at, which often objectified women. She was the first one to show that dance could be so much more. It could actually express one's inner state.
She was the first to form an all-female dance company and the first to intergrate her company. She also led the charge to commission original American music for dance, among other things. Her work influenced not only the world of dance but other area as well, including acting.
The current Graham exhibit at the New York Library of Performing Arts traces her illustrious career. It includes numerous pictures, posters, and more, plus a few costumes and set pieces from some of her dances. Additionally, numerous monitors are available throughout the exhibit, displaying interviews and/or performance clips from some of her dances on a continuous loop.
And that's our view. For more information about this free exhibit, visit www.nypl.org/events/exhibitions/martha-graham-mother-psychological-dance
