ARTOWN PRESENTS The Martha Graham Dance Company
January 28, 2025 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
MARTHA GRAHAM’S 1OOTH ANNIVERSARY
Artown is extremely honored to be a part of the 100th-anniversary milestone celebration of the oldest dance company in America and one of the most celebrated worldwide.
Martha Graham is recognized as a primal artistic force of the 20th century, alongside Picasso, James Joyce, Stravinsky, and Frank Lloyd Wright. Graham created 181 ballets and a dance technique that has been compared to ballet in its scope and magnitude. Her approach to dance and theater revolutionized the art form and her innovative physical vocabulary has irrevocably influenced dance worldwide.
The GRAHAM100 program in Reno includes the following iconic works:
CAVE (2022). Choreography by Hofesh Shechter
DARK MEADOWSUITE (1946). Choreography and Costumes by Martha Graham
RODEO. Choreography by Agnes de Mille, Music by Aaron Copland
Dancers from the Department of Theatre & Dance at the University of Nevada, Reno in partnership with Artown will open the Martha Graham Dance Company program with a special restaging of Graham’s experimental work Panorama (1935).
