It has been fifty-something years but oh! how the body memory springs to life watching this new generation so perfectly continue this exquisite work; all these short vignettes coming directly from Miss Graham's genius choreography and those wonderful disciples of the 40's, 50's, 60's who co-created it with her. They were my teachers and now it is up to you to continue carrying the torch of light and handing on the tradition. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful work. Martha Graham always inspires courage and a desire to find the best of ourselves whatever the circumstances, this could not be more fitting for the times. We love you

Such an inspiring, rich and varied sequence of Graham's work (both performed and vocabulary practiced. Exquisite and magnificent. An deeply touching tribute to Martha, the Company - current and legendary. Transported me to my early days in NYC and classes with Helen, Bertram, Yuriko, David, and many more as well as my work with Pearl Lang dancing in her Company. Brava everyone. Thrilling to witness this splendor in dance and deep work in the body. Thank you all! Be well. Stay safe. And I will hereby refrain from complaining that I don't have a proper space to work/dance in.
