This June, the Martha Graham Dance Company’s acclaimed second company will be back on stage for its 40th New York season with an exciting program of new works and Graham classics.

This season Graham 2 continues exploring the theme of human/nature. The program, which includes a musical interlude with live music by Andreas Brade and Tracy Yang, will include a rarely seen Graham work, Temptations of the Moon, from 1986; Diversion of Angels (1948); and excerpts from Clytemnestra (1958). The program also features a new work, Under Their Breath, by choreographer Bradley Shelver. This group work delves into the conversations that we often keep to ourselves, those that we only think about or whisper under our breath. Additionally, the program will include Lorn MacDougal’s recently revived solo, Glass. In a work that explores one’s toughness and fragility, the figure in Glass, explains MacDougal, is “filled with wonder in the discovery of her small self within the enormous world.” The piece is set to percussion on glass by Collin Walcott and voice by Meredith Monk.
