| Summary: | This title offers a re-evaluation of one of the greatest contemporary dance pioneers of the twentieth century. It employs an innovative feminist post-structural lens. 2013 is the 22nd anniversary of Graham's death. In her heyday, Martha Graham's name was internationally recognized within the modern dance world, and though trends in choreography continue to change, her status in dance still inspires regard. In this, the first extended critical look at this modern dance pioneer, Victoria Thoms explores the cult of Graham and her dancing through a critical lens that exposes the gendered meaning behind much of her work. Thoms synthesizes a diverse archive of material on Graham from films, photographs, memoir, and critique in order to uniquely highlight her contribution to the dance world and arts culture in general.
