Forever Young In her 1953 essay "An Athlete of God," Graham refers to dance as "the performance of living," always aware that her instrument as a dancer is "also the instrument through which life is lived: the human body." The daughter of an "alienist," which at the time described a physician specializing in psychology, her father was interested in how people use their bodies to express how they feel and passed his curiosities along to Graham.
Graham initially studied drama, but became attracted to dance at the age of 22, which is very late for a dancer. With a less-than-ideal body type, she used her differences to her advantage and developed her own pieces for herself. As a result, she often had trouble passing along her choreography to other dancers, as she had built all of her works on her own body. While many dancers retire by the age of 30, Graham's late start didn't slow her down, and she danced professionally until the age of 76.
The American Experience Much of Graham's work focuses on women throughout history, as well as American ideas of industry and the innovation. In one of her works created during the 1930s, "Lamentation," she uses her body to represent a skyscraper. She explored themes such as mythology, the experiences of American Indians, and the American West. Though still focusing on small emotional moments as a dancer, Graham created bold statements on society through the staging and design of her pieces.
Constant Collaboration Called "the Picasso of dance," she came to personify the changing dance of the 20th century. She worked with visual artists, composers, and theater directors on her pieces. In the 1950s, she worked with legendary ballet choreography George Balanchine on "Episodes," a program that combined both ballet and modern dance. Appalachian Spring, Aaron Copland's landmark orchestral score, was commissioned by Graham for her company. Even actors such as Bette Davis and Gregory Peck worked with her to learn principles of movement. Because she worked with other artists from different mediums, Graham's impact on art is immeasurable.
Watch Graham perform a secton of her dance, Lamentation, where she plays a grieving woman
