GRAHAM DANCERS SPEAK OUT

The Martha Graham Company dispute has turned nasty, with the company’s board and its artistic director publicly feuding. And the dancers? “Since the board voted to close shop, they have had no work, no pay and no daily classes to maintain the technique so crucial to performing Graham’s dances. But they had mostly kept quiet about it. Until now. In a statement issued this week, the dancers are calling for a boycott of the same choreography that they have striven to perfect.” – Washington Post
