Martha Graham Dance Company

Martha Graham and her Company changed the way we see the art of dance, expanding contemporary dance's movement vocabulary and forever altering the scope of the art form, rooting works in contemporary social, political, psychological, and sexual contexts, deepening their impact and resonance. Graham's influence can be felt in many of the leading choreographers and dancers of the 20th and 21st centuries, including Merce Cunningham, Anna Sokolow, Erick Hawkins, Paul Taylor, and many others. Graham's repertoire of 181 works has also engaged noted performers such as Mikhail Baryshnikov, Claire Bloom, Margot Fonteyn, Liza Minnelli, Rudolf Nureyev, Maya Plisetskaya, and Kathleen Turner.
