Martha Graham: Call to Action
In tandem with Martha Graham Dance Company’s performance run, Jacob’s Pillow will host a summer-long exhibition in Blake’s Barn exploring Graham’s artistic and political voice during the 1930s, curated by former Graham dancer and scholar Oliver Tobin. A portion of this exhibition, which is now open at The Church Sag Harbor on Long Island through March 22, will focus on Graham’s first decade as a choreographer—when she created dances exclusively for women and positioned her work within the era’s broader currents of political theater and social activism. Together, the performances and exhibition offer a sweeping portrait of a revolutionary artist whose vision helped define modern dance and continues to illuminate the intersections of art, politics, and the human spirit.
