That was very humbling to see how, through her lack of hearing and sight, she actually experienced more in a given moment by feeling and other senses, and that seemed to leave a much deeper impression on her than if she had all five senses intact. It makes me want to just shut my eyes and cover my ears and discover the world all over again, and experience it the way Ms. Keller did :)
It seems Helen Keller really did her best to enjoy everything she was a beautiful inspiration to me I loved reading about her when I was a young girl and stiil do in my old age these movies are priceless 💕
That wa a rare treat. Never knew she visited a dance studio. Similarly, I did hear once from older family members that there is supposedly footage somewhere showing Helen actually dancing either, by herself or with a partner.
Thanks for the warm comment. Glad you liked it :) If you type the words... "Captioned - Helen Keller Stars in 1919 Movie - "Deliverance", into the youtube search box, you can see a short film clip of Helen dancing with a partner. Best wishes! :)
Martha Graham with Helen Keller was absolutely wonderful. She was so patient and kind and courteous with Helen both ladies are such absolutely amazing wonen. This was a blessing for me to watch.
Dear Helen you keep on amazing us with more wonderful film on Helen this is amazing to watch and great to see how she not only loves the dance but becomes involved in it. thanks fro sharing bernie
With each video -- I am continually amazed by this most remarkable woman! Her attitude and determination is just breathtaking and spellbinding! Thank you so much Helen for keeping us aware of this woman's attributes. It's the greatest medicine ever for all of us. Hugs & smiles Veronica :-)
@Idlinfarm - Hi Ida, I'm really pleased that you liked the video. I feel lucky to have the old film clips to share... Thanks for the warm words. Much appreciated!
This video is so precious and beautiful thanks.I like Martha Graham's dance Studio,it's lovely.And the choregraphy is just a treat..seeing Helen in the middle of all these dancers listening to the vibrations and the sound is just wonderful..extraordinary.The music and the dance gives tears to my eyes...
The dancers and their clothes look incredibly modern. One of them could step out of the video into a modern dance studio and you'd think nothing of it.
@VerusiunctiO - Yes....apparently she was very sensitive to vibrations. I assume that all of her remaining senses were much more sensitive than the average person. Thanks for the thoughtful comment!!!!
thank you so much for your channel. I can't think the last time I was so moved to tears again and again by the purity, truth and spirit of a human being. I came here via Arthur Penn, whose film "the miracle worker" I had not heard of. How come I left school knowing about the cruelties of history and nothing of this woman? I suspect because the power of love can intimidate the slight machinery of society. Must go and blow my nose, something in my eye again.
A wonderful video and a splendid dedication to our wonderful friend Mayan. I am happy that she came back and I'm sure that she will enjoy this fantastic piece of history and art. Congratulations my dear Helen for your beautiful video. Warm hugs and all the best to both, Anca
Que genial vídeo, dedicado a Mayan......creo Helen, que meteré este en favoritos......todo es un tributo hacia tan ejemplar mujer y señora...una sensibilidad maravillosa.....al igual que su vida y obra. Besos de tu amiga Ana Naranjita, desde Sevilla.
I've had an intimation of Helen Keller's ecstasy, because four times a year, Paula Byrne at Portland, Oregon's Soma Space studio, facilitates a blindfolded trance dance. During hours of dancing blind, our other senses become heightened. We feel the dancers by the breeze their bodies make, and we know how close they are by the vibrations of their feet on the floor, so I understand the pure joy in this video.
This is so cool!!! I was actually able to understand her when she said "That was beautiful". I think that today they probably could have taught her to talk better.
no so as if you can not hear words you can not learn to speak them.there is a dead actress name marlee matlin and she as well has never learned to speak properly.some do improve a bit but not to any great significance.an infants babble is the beginning of language and the baby can her itself and others around.if you never heard how would you know.
Extraordinary footage yet again. Thank you, dear Helene, for sourcing and sharing these treasures with us all. She always had so much joy and appreciation for things she could only barely experience (at least from our advantaged perspective). Jacques Jr.
this is so beautiful, it brought tears...How amazing was Helen Keller!!!!! Helen Keller wrote the following letter to the New York Symphony Orchestra in March 1924. Here's how she describes listening to Beethoven's "Ninth Symphony" over the radio: “Dear Friends: I have the joy of being able to tell you that, though deaf and blind, I spent a glorious hour last night listening over the radio to Beethoven’s “Ninth Symphony.” I do not mean to say that I “heard” the music in the sense that other people heard it; and I do not know whether I can make you understand how it was possible for me to derive pleasure from the symphony. It was a great surprise to myself. I had been reading in my magazine for the blind of the happiness that the radio was bringing to the sightless everywhere. I was delighted to know that the blind had gained a new source of enjoyment; but I did not dream that I could have any part in their joy. Last night, when the family was listening to your wonderful rendering of the immortal symphony someone suggested that I put my hand on the receiver and see if I could get any of the vibrations. He unscrewed the cap, and I lightly touched the sensitive diaphragm. What was my amazement to discover that I could feel, not only the vibration, but also the impassioned rhythm, the throb and the urge of the music! The intertwined and intermingling vibrations from different instruments enchanted me. I could actually distinguish the cornets, the roil of the drums, deep-toned violas and violins singing in exquisite unison. How the lovely speech of the violins flowed and plowed over the deepest tones of the other instruments! When the human voices leaped up thrilling from the surge of harmony, I recognized them instantly as voices more ecstatic, upcurving swift and flame-like, until my heart almost stood still. The women’s voices seemed an embodiment of all the angelic voices rushing in a harmonious flood of beautiful and inspiring sound. The great chorus throbbed against my fingers with poignant pause and flow. Then all the instruments and voices together burst forth - an ocean of heavenly vibration - and died away like winds when the atom is spent, ending in a delicate shower of sweet notes. Of course this was not “hearing,” but I do know that the tones and harmonies conveyed to me moods of great beauty and majesty. I also sense, or thought I did, the tender sounds of nature that sing into my hand-swaying reeds and winds and the murmur of streams. I have never been so enraptured before by a multitude of tone-vibrations. As I listened, with darkness and melody, shadow and sound filling all the room, I could not help remembering that the great composer who poured forth such a flood of sweetness into the world was deaf like myself. I marveled at the power of his quenchless spirit by which out of his pain he wrought such joy for others - and there I sat, feeling with my hand the magnificent symphony which broke like a sea upon the silent shores of his soul and mine.” The Auricle, Vol. II, No. 6, March 1924.

A Japanese Helen Keller truly respected and called him“my teacher.” In 1937, Helen Keller came to Japan and visited Hokiichi's memorial house. She expressed her impression as follows: “When I was a child, my mother told me that Mr. Hanawa should be my role model. To visit this place and touch his statue was the most significant event during this trip to Japan. The worn desk and the statue facing down earned more respect of him. ” Hokiichi became blind when he was 5 years old. One summer night, a wife of a Samurai, read a book for Hokiichi. She found that he had tied up his hands together. Asked why he did so, Hokiichi replied, “Whenever I move my hand to get mosquitoes away, I tend to miss words of your reading. So as not to do that, I did this.”. He always studied with an attitude like this.
@mdragon180 - Hello Deborah, I'm also Happy our dear Mayan has returned to youtube.... It's wonderful news! Thanks for the sweet comment, my friend! : )
@ArtsKris -Bonjour mon cher Christian. Merci beaucoup pour le commentaire douce. Oui .... Helen a été capable de sentir la musique et les mouvements. Elle a été incroyable. Je suis heureux vous avez aimé la vidéo. Je vous souhaite une journée fantastique!
Thank you for this. I am in particular need of something that feeds the spirit today. I've also really enjoyed reading the comments - which is unusual. Everyone has come together in communion and has been genuinely moved. Wonderful...
That was very humbling to see how, through her lack of hearing and sight, she actually experienced more in a given moment by feeling and other senses, and that seemed to leave a much deeper impression on her than if she had all five senses intact. It makes me want to just shut my eyes and cover my ears and discover the world all over again, and experience it the way Ms. Keller did :)
I really love how Martha really makes sure Helen has a good time, and Helen is full of wonder
Can anyone NOT feel totally inspired by these glimpses into her life?
Amazing!
Beautiful ....what a remarkable woman ...and what a kindness from Martha Graham
This took my breath away. So tactile and intuitive. Thank you for these wonderful films of an extraordinary woman-----in this, a great time for women.
It seems Helen Keller really did her best to enjoy everything she was a beautiful inspiration to me I loved reading about her when I was a young girl and stiil do in my old age these movies are priceless 💕
This is incredible, all my life I've heard of her, but my students' bio on her has "opened mine eyes to her!
Interesting...never knew that much about her either.
That wa a rare treat. Never knew she visited a dance studio. Similarly, I did hear once from older family members that there is supposedly footage somewhere showing Helen actually dancing either, by herself or with a partner.

Nah most of what we call "modern" is just recycled versions of what the past had.

It's always a pleasure to hear from you!
Thanks so much for the nice comment!.....
Please have a really great day!
This is so cool!!! I was actually able to understand her when she said "That was beautiful". I think that today they probably could have taught her to talk better.
Most likely she continued to perfect the vibrations in her vocal chords, along with the lip movements necessary.
no so as if you can not hear words you can not learn to speak them.there is a dead actress name marlee matlin and she as well has never learned to speak properly.some do improve a bit but not to any great significance.an infants babble is the beginning of language and the baby can her itself and others around.if you never heard how would you know.
