About the Event
Known as one of the most influential forces of the 20th century, Martha Graham presented her first performance with a supporting group of dancers on April 18, 1926. Since that date, Graham’s groundbreaking and uniquely American style of dance has influenced generations of artists and continues to captivate audiences worldwide. To celebrate its centennial, the company is organizing GRAHAM100, an extensive series of programs and events from 2023 through 2026 that explore the diversity and depth of Graham’s extraordinary artistic legacy.
“We are proud to be the oldest dance company in the United States but have discovered that a celebration encompassing 100 years of artistic innovation informed by vast social, political, and technological change, needs a broader canvas than one season can provide,” — Janet Eilber, artistic director, Martha Graham Dance Company.
“These men and women easily embody the choreographer’s sense of dancers as angelic athletes.” — Robert Greskovic, The Wall Street Journal
“This is contemporary dance at its very best.” — Marina Kennedy, Broadway World
