Summary

Panel discussion, third in a series of three. The panelists, all former members of the Martha Graham Dance Company, discuss how they joined the company, their perceptions of Graham on stage and off, their experiences in rehearsing and performing her choreography, her theatricality and kinetic humor, and the pervasive American character of all her works. A question-and-answer session concludes the program.
