MARTHA GRAHAM AND DANCE COMPANY - STORY OF A GROUNDBREAKING DANCER

Description: We are offering the magazine "Martha Graham and Dance Company" published by L.C. Dunetz and Paul Lovett, New York. Circa 1950s. It gives the story of Martha Graham from the little girl who dreamed of nothing but being a dancer to her becoming an instructor at the Denishawn Dance School & Company in Los Angeles, and then the featured dancer with the company. In 1923 she danced in the Greenwich Village Follies, where she created her own unique way of dancing, developing new methods that made history, creating both "fanatic admirers and blood-thirsty enemies" of her original, daring art form. Martha Graham invented a new kind of dance - "drama-in-dance", which when performed, appeared almost like plays. Here, in the magazine, are the praising words, taken from the pages of newspapers, of critics who attended the New York premieres of Martha Graham's Theatre Dance. The dance performances critiqued are: Appalachian Spring, Herodiade, El Penitente, Punch and Judy, Errand into the Maze, Dark Meadow, Salem Shore, Every Soul is a Circus, Deaths and Entrances, Diversion of Angels, Cave of the Heart, Letter to the World, Lear, and Night Journey. **CONDITION** - pages are very good/excellent. Covers show slight soiling. There was some separation of the covers at the spine, and so we have reinforced the spine with acid-free archival mending tape.
