Martha Graham Dance Company
March 29, 2024 @ 7:30 pm
An indispensable dance company celebrates 100 years, bringing is founder’s classic works to the stage alongside new work by contemporary choreographers. Martha Graham—an icon among 20th century artistic icons—radically expanded the dance vocabulary, and her work has captivated audiences worldwide while influencing generations of artists.
In its centennial season, the Martha Graham Dance Company comes to Hancher to perform Graham’s 1947 duet Errand into the Maze based on the myth of Thesus and the Minotaur, Agnes de Mille’s classic Rodeo with Aaron Copland’s beloved score reorchestrated in a bluegrass style by Punch Brothers violinist Gabe Witcher, and Hofesh Shechter’s Cave inspired by the rave scene.
The program will open with Graham’s Panorama, which was choreographed in 1935 and is an electric example of the modernism of its time. The work will be performed by more than 20 student dancers from the University of Iowa Department of Dance.
Part of Hancher’s 51st season
