MARTHA GRAHAM
Martha Graham (1894-1991) is one of the earliest creators of modern dance in history.
Graham has sometimes been termed the "Picasso of Dance" in that her importance and influence to modern dance can be considered equivalent to what Pablo Picasso was to modern visual arts. Her impact has also been compared to the influence of Stravinsky on music and Frank Lloyd Wright on architecture.

The reason I choose Graham is I always have an interest in dance like ballet. I don't know much about modern dance; I want to explore this field and find out more information about it.

G: 'Frontier' O: 'Night Journey' O: 'Appalachian Spring' L: 'Satyric Song' E: 'Lamentation'
I watched some famous works by Graham, from 'Appalachian Spring', 'Seraphic Dialogue', 'Frontier' to 'Lamentation'. They are very different compare to classic ballet, not very romantic, no unrealistic fantasy, only that emotional expression. Her work is more about that communication between people, and that is why I was so touched by watching her dance.
