Martha Graham in Performance |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| This scene is from a dance called Letter to the World (1940), created by the American dancer and choreographer Martha Graham. The piece was inspired by the life and work of the American poet Emily Dickinson. Graham herself performed the main role. Graham, whose modern style was considered controversial when she debuted in New York in 1926, became a major force in the type of dance known as modern dance ballet, in which emotional expression is an essential component. | ||||||
