Martha Graham Solos To Be Performed At The Metropolitan Museum Of Art

Martha Graham's powerful solos from the 1930s to be performed at The Met on October 7 & 10.

Few dance companies have revolutionized the art quite like Martha Graham's. From the company's founding in 1926, Graham's signature style has remained a "cornerstone" (Time) of American modern dance, and continues to be taught worldwide.

Now, in conjunction with the exhibition Art for the Millions: American Culture and Politics in the 1930s, dancers from the Martha Graham Dance Company stage some of Graham's most powerful '30s solos in galleries throughout The Met. Works include Lamentation (1930), Satyric Festival Song (1932), Ekstasis (1933), Spectre-1914 (1936), Immediate Tragedy (1937), and Deep Song (1937). 

Radical Dance for the People: Martha Graham Dance Company is free with Museum admission and takes place at The Met Fifth Avenue. Full performance schedule below.
