- Summary:
- Often called the Picasso, Stravinksy, or Frank Lloyd Wright of the dance world, Martha Graham revolutionized ballet stages across the globe. Here, Franko reframes Graham's most famous creations by showing how she wove together strands of love passion, politics, and myth to create an American school of choreography and dance.
