MARTHA GRAHAM DANCE VIDEOS, ON 11 MAY 1894, WITH Alvin Ailey, Twyla Tharp, Paul Taylor, Merce Cunningham CHOREOGRAPHER MARTHA GRAHAM
born in 1894, while she was young moved to Los Angeles from Pennsylvania while she was young with her dad. During the train ride west she saw the American expanse that gave her the inspiration for most of her work including Appalachian Spring and more. Martha first experience with dance was asking her dad to go see a performance in the New York Ballet at the age of 16. Which she fell in love with the theater and continued to go see until she started dancing herself. The phrase that she lives by “movement doesn’t lie” comes from when her dad caught her in a lie and told her that
Started dancing for money at age 6. She moved around a lot from Chicago to New York then London. In 1899 she got away from the Tropes and traditions of that time.
This got her to search for truth in movement as her goal. In her early twenties she studied and preformed with the Denishawn Company that is known for its modern approaches to dance. She eventually moved to Greenwich Village in New York. She then joined the Follies and lead to her starting her own dance troupe. She invented her own dance style from emotion, breathing and spare, angular forms. Her company was going thru hard times, in the beginning but eventually they were appreciated and became famous worldwide. She performed until she was 75 and kept teaching until she dies in 1991. Her Martha Graham company was the first integrated dance company in the United States.
MARTHA GRAHAM
She was tragically killed in France in 1927 by her scarf getting caught in her sports car tire. She had several affairs and broken marriages that resulted in her having 2 kids. They eventually both died in a bizarre crash where the car rolled into the Seine. She not only revolutionized dance but the way that woman pursued what they wanted even if it was considered to be compromising. She also wrote books and led the way to woman’s liberation.
