Learn from expert, Oliver Tobin— former Teens@Graham Director and curator of Martha Graham: Collaborations – who invites teens with a love for movement to explore Graham’s 1929 choreographed work Heretic. This participatory workshop is open to teenagers of all dance backgrounds and experience levels. Participants will be introduced to the Martha Graham Technique and explore embodied storytelling through movement in the main gallery, surrounded by the iconic history and legacy presented in the exhibition.
Programmed in tandem with the exhibition, this workshop celebrates International Women’s Day, Sunday, March 8th. Join us in honoring Martha Graham, who devoted her life and body to the arts, sought power and liberation for women through dance, and, through collaboration, forged a legacy that transformed the landscape of contemporary dance.
Participants should dress comfortably and bring a water bottle. Socks or bare feet are recommended for movement. No other materials are needed.
Breathe and reconnect to the pure intention of your heart with Céline Antoine, our March Wellness Monday leader and certified breathwork guide. In this intensive 90-minute Healing Breathwork class, participants will mindfully engage their breath using a potent technique called circular breath. Participants will be lying on the ground and must bring their own yoga mat and 1 to 2 blankets/throws/or beach towels for the practice.
This technique helps relieve stress and anxiety while releasing emotions stuck in the body. Healing Breathwork allows participants the opportunity to gain deep insights and experience profound breakthroughs and can often lead to a powerful and transformational experience that resonates in the body well after the session has ended.
In the words of Tich Naht Hanh, “breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness.”
This class is not recommended if you have heart problems, unmedicated high blood pressure, glaucoma or detached retina, or if you are pregnant.

Join Oliver Tobin, former dancer with the Martha Graham Dance Company and curator of Martha Graham: Collaborations, in a movement workshop for adults inspired by Matha Graham’s seminal solo Lamentation. Open to all backgrounds and experience levels, the workshop introduces the expressive foundations of the Martha Graham Technique and explores storytelling through breath, shape, and movement. Working in a supportive and reflective environment, movers will explore themes of grief, containment, release, resilience, and transformation at the heart of Lamentation.
Presented in dialogue with the exhibition, this workshop invites physical exploration, reflection, and connection while honoring Graham’s belief in the body as a vessel for human experience and emotional truth.
