Proyectos pedagógicos: Martha Graham Dance Company master class
Conocer desde dentro el famoso vocabulario físico creado por Martha Graham.
As a delicious finishing touch to their performance at the Arriaga, the Martha Graham Dance Company will give a 90-minute master class at which participants can learn all about the famous physical vocabulary created by Martha Graham.
Led by Denise Vale, Senior Artistic Association, the class will give students insight into Graham’s innovations and her concept of “contraction and relaxation”, by working on the foundations of this unique form of physical expression. They will also learn choreographic phrasing and movements from the repertoire presented by the Martha Graham Dance Company during their performance in Bilbao.
This master class is aimed at intermediate and advanced dancers, but participants do not need to have studied Graham’s technique previously.
Denise Vale (Senior Artistic Associate) joined the Martha Graham Dance Company in 1985, attaining the rank of principal dancer. Roles performed include the Pioneer Woman in Appalachian Spring, Woman in White in Diversion of Angels, Chorus Leader in Night Journey, Chorus in Cave of the Heart, the Attendant in Hérodiade, Leader in the 1980s reconstruction of “Steps in the Street”, and Night Chant, a ballet created for Ms. Vale by Martha Graham in 1989. Graham solos performed include Lamentation, Frontier, Satyric Festival Song, and Serenata Morisca.
