Martha Graham Dance Company Will Present NEW@Graham with Andrea Miller

The March installment of the Martha Graham Dance Company's popular Studio Series features a work-in-progress showing of choreographer Andrea Miller's new work for the Company. Titled Umbra, the movement vocabulary is inspired by the rhythms, speeds, and surges of nonhuman life. The one-hour showing will include a discussion with Miller and the dancers. Umbra will have its world premiere at New York City Center in April 2020.

NEW@Graham with Andrea Miller will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 24-25, at 7pm, at the Martha Graham Studio Theater. Tickets are $25 (general) and $20 (students) and can be purchased by phone at 212-229-9200, or online at www.marthagraham.org/studioseries. The Martha Graham Studio Theater is located at 55 Bethune Street, 11th floor, in Manhattan.
