Becoming Martha Graham: A Special Evening of Film and Conversation

The evening includes a screening of "A Dancer’s World" (1957), a poetic film in which Graham reflects on the making of a dancer while preparing for the stage. Also featured is The Dancer Revealed (1994), a compelling PBS “American Masters” biography rich with rare archival footage. As guests arrive, an excerpt from "The Graham Technique" produced in 1975 will be on view. Wine and refreshments will be served, courtesy of National Iron Bank. A conversation moderated by Catherine Tharin will follow, featuring Janet Eilber, Artistic Director of the Martha Graham Dance Company, and Peggy Lyman Hayes, former principal dancer.
