Content

Marian Horosko brings together new and previously published interviews of Martha Graham's "family" of dancers, teachers, choreographers, and actors and interweaves them with provocative biographical material about the life and influence of the creator of classic modern dance.Spanning seventy-five years, the interviews testify to the remarkable legacy that inspired the careers of many in the dance world: dancers from the contemporary generation who inherited her technique but never saw her perform; teachers, all former Graham students, who reflect their passion for maintaining Graham's few fixed principles and her emotional integrity; and the foremost actors of Graham's time who developed their craft on the principle that "movement doesn't lie."The book offers the only syllabus in print of Graham's work. Drawn from a private film of a class for her advanced and professional company members in the 1960s, it includes comments from Graham and testifies to her use of imagery in teaching. This invaluable collection of images, interviews, and commentary traces the evolution of Graham's methodology and vocabulary of movement, on which classical modern dance continues to rely.
