The Modern Dance
of Martha Graham

Here is a review of Martha Graham’s sell-out Broadway performance from January, 1944:

“Miss Graham’s programs are no longer dance recitals. They are theater – the unique theater of Martha Graham. The company is no longer a cohesive group of dancers in the formal choreographic sense. They are ‘characters’ as listed in the program. Here we are meeting up with a type of poetic, symbolist theater where the ‘drama’ – the poetic line – is projected through movement rather than words.”
