Fully immerse yourself into the world of American Master, Martha Graham, as we present a screening of the full-length documentary Martha Graham: The Dancer Revealed followed by a Q&A with the film’s executive producer Susan Lacy led by Sheri L. Pasquarella, The Church’s Executive Director.
Produced for PBS’s “American Masters” series, the hour-long film is a definitive documentary on the life and work of Martha Graham. It traces Martha Graham’s career from her early days with Denishawn Company and follows her through the formation of her own troupe. Directed by Catherine Tatge and narrated by Claire Bloom, the film documents Graham’s emergence as one of the most important figures in twentieth-century dance, as echoed by the set pieces, costumes, photos, and more of the exhibition. Join us for a unique experience to take in the film, whilst being surrounded by the history it documents.
