Becoming Martha Graham: A Special Evening of Film and Conversation at The Moviehouse

Head to The Moviehouse for a special evening of film and conversation featuring Janet Eilber, Artistic Director of the Martha Graham Dance Company, and Peggy Lyman Hayes, former principal dancer, both of whom worked closely with Martha Graham and performed many of her iconic roles.

The evening includes a screening of "A Dancer’s World" (1957), a poetic film in which Graham reflects on the making of a dancer while preparing for the stage. Also featured is "The Dancer Revealed" (1994), a compelling PBS “American Masters” biography rich with rare archival footage.

As guests arrive, an excerpt from "The Graham Technique" produced in 1975 will be on view. Wine and refreshments will be served.

A conversation and Q&A with Janet & Peggy will follow in which they will share personal insights and memories, moderated by Catherine Tharin.
