Summary
A video recording of a lecture and demonstration by the Martha Graham Dance Company on April 4, 2003. This was likely recorded during an educational residency at the New World Dance Theater of Miami-Dade Community College in Miami, Florida. Christine Dakin begins the demonstration with some background about Martha Graham and her approach to dance. The sound is difficult to hear during this introductory section. The dancers then enter the stage and perform their technique demonstration. In between sections, Christine Dakin continues to give further context and background information. There are two performances of dance excerpts from Errand into the maze and El penitente. The end of the program is a question and answer session between members of the dance company and the audience.
