Martha Graham's Political Dance Project

From The Washington Post, a look back at the political statements in dance from the 1920s and 30s.

"Few choreographers today put politics onstage. In this post-postmodern era, the field has shied away from the provocations of the AIDS works of the 1980s and early 1990s, which was perhaps the last time dance wrapped itself around an issue."

Wendy Perron in Dance magazine asks, "Any way you slice it, the source of Graham’s theatrical fury is a source for contemplation…and for wondering, Where is that energy today? What female choreographer will bring us that kind of vehemence?"
