My opinion of Martha


Prior to 1939, the Martha Graham dance company no male dancers, Eric Hawkins to join the troupe makes creative direction is changed, this period is also Janet Eyre Admiral to the "right time to change the concept of" period. Martha Graham and Eric Hawkins turned to literature and drama, especially the Bible and Greek mythology, the dance becomes more narrative.
But the expressions are not traditional theater-style along Syria, they sometimes let the dancers suddenly stop all actions, time is frozen, there is only one dancer to stand up to show his mental activity at this moment, or the entire dance performance just happen moment where things are no longer being the average time aliquots counts - on the concept of time decomposition and subversion has gradually become a modern literature, art happy to discuss a common theme. In 1948, Martha Graham and Eric Hawkins married, marriage ultimately unsuccessful.In fact, Eric Hawkins himself is an outstanding choreographer and dance educator, Greece modern dance choreographer Dimitris Papaioannou study dance in New York on the subject of many of his influence. Dimitris Papaioannou dance choreography "Medea" This year has performed at the National Theatre.

Martha Graham's contribute


She revolution of the stage space, it is not only reflected in the set design, Janet says visual effects caused by changes in the position of the dancers also changed the traditional concept of the stage space - Martha Graham in the front stage, surrounded by female dancers, she was dressed in white, who is a black dress, she seemed forced to fight, his knees, his arms raised, they stamp their feet, tilt form of oppression, Only a deep shadow over white stage curtain, dancers reflected in the above. It now appears that this arrangement may not be called how "pioneer", but then the audience, which is new.


Martha Graham's early works are mostly abstract and emotional, the 1936 work "Chronicles" is considered to be the most representative and her landmark work, dark, deep stage sets and costumes referent is just what is happening in the past and the stock market crash, the Great Depression and the Spanish Civil War, she brought serious social problems on stage, this is a general trend throughout the period of the American theater - in a turbulent world of reality react.
From the late 1930s to the 1940s, Martha Ge Laimu created a series of probing American society works, and use a variety of methods to convey her "American Experience." 1935 Dance "frontier" (Fron-tier) is the first in this series, inspired from her childhood on his family by train across the United States from Pennsylvania, moved to Santa Barbara on the way see the sense . "Appalachian Spring" (AppalachianSpring) celebrates the pioneering people of this land, but also the positive celebration of the American spirit.
