Dear Sophie -
While now it appears traditional, the highly emotive choreography as conceived by MARTHA GRAHAM was radical modern dance in its day. She sustained a career for 70 years including a dance company in her name. Her collaboration with Noguchi on her set designs, innovative wardrobe and documentation enhanced her impact while recording her legacy.
With love,
Mom
while this may be her most iconic singular image, i chose her arms reaching up for apple, devoid of angst!
