Martha Graham: Continuing the Legacy by Dancing

A photo of the Graham 2 Company

Martha Graham, the iconoclastic and brilliant dancer, choreographer, and creator of a dance technique, who influenced 20th century dance, music, film, theater, and art, formed her first dance company in 1926. In honor of this, the Martha Graham Company and school have begun a three- year international celebration of this artistic milestone. The Graham 2 Company, led by Virginie Mecene, will share Graham’s philosophy and technique and perform several works from the Graham repertory. Come and celebrate with these young dancers.

A dancer in a black tutu and leotard and pointe shoes stands on one leg, with the other leg extended behind the body in a straight line. One arm is raised above the head and the other extended to the back parallel to the extended leg. The school director is opposite the dancer and wears a red DTH logo t-shirt and black pants and ballet slippers. She holds the hand of the arm raised above the dancer’s head with one arm and her back arm is extended and she is smiling at the student.
