The Martha Graham Dance Company: House of the Pelvic Truth - Blakeley White-mcguire

Descriere The Martha Graham Dance Company: House of the Pelvic Truth - Blakeley White-mcguire

\nWhat is the legacy of Martha Graham and why does it endure? \n \nHow and why did the philosophy and subsequent canon of Martha Graham flood out into an artistic diaspora that is still a wellspring of inspiration for contemporary artists? \n \nHow do dancers that have never studied with, or worked under, Martha Graham maintain her vision? \n \nAll of these questions, and many more, are considered in this fascinating book, authored by one of the Martha Graham Company's ex-principal dancers, which illuminates the ongoing significance of the Martha Graham Dance Company almost 100 years after it was founded. \n \nThrough doing so, we are offered a study of the history of the Martha Graham Dance Company - the longest-standing modern dance company in America, its international diaspora and the current generation of dancers taking up the mantel. \n \nDrawing on extensive interviews conducted for the book, the company's story is told through the experiences, inspirations, motivations and words of performers from Graham's iconic artistic lineage.\n
