Martha Graham Was Weird

I watched a documentary on Martha Graham on OVTV the other night. I can appreciate her passion for the art of dance, but dang...she was weird.

Her early work was quite disturbing. I felt that all of the beauty of the human form was lost. I will investigate further to see how her style evolved.

I also watched Tap Dogs. I liked about 30% of the dancing. Most of the performances took place on some kind of stage hardware/apparatus that I felt got in the way of the dance. Some of the ideas were innovative, but the dance technique suffered because of the clunkiness of the apparatus. I did appreciate that every one of the dancers was tremendously skilled.
