Seattle Theatre Group presents
A Moore Theatre Centennial Celebration
Martha Graham Dance Company performs masterpieces, some danced at The Moore in 1936...
Recognized as one of the great pioneers of modern dance, Martha Graham lives today in the vibrant performances of the MARTHA GRAHAM DANCE COMPANY. As part of its 80th Anniversary Season, the Company presents a selection of historic works including Graham's early solo works Lamentation (1930) and Satyric Festival Song (1932) performed at the theatre in 1936. These works capture the essence of the early days of the MARTHA GRAHAM DANCE COMPANY and pay homage to their founder whose choreography revolutionized the world of dance.
The evening's repertoire is rounded out by the solo Serenata Morisca (1916), the eleven women cast of Sketches from 'Chronicle' (1936), the lyrical Graham classic Diversion of Angels (1948) and Ardent Song (Redux) (2007), a newly re-imagined version of a lost Graham work. The early solo works showcased vividly recall the MARTHA GRAHAM DANCE COMPANY's 1936 Moore Theatre engagement.
In more than 180 works created during a career of over 50 years, Graham illuminated the depth of human emotion through stylized movements that were intense, angular, direct and primal. In her lifetime, Graham freed the art of dance by providing a new dance language and new concepts while revolutionizing the stage and music with her creative perfectionism.
DON'T MISS OUT! ONE NIGHT ONLY!
