This book illuminates for the reader what generations of dancers have experienced while bringing Martha Graham’s archetypal characters to life within Isamu Noguchi’s sculpted arena. The ever present search for a “sense of place“ was born from Graham and Noguchi’s collaboration changing forever the way dancers engaged with their surroundings on stage and allowing the audience the space to see themselves in the intensity of Graham’s characters as they come to life within the simplicity and abstract beauty of Noguchi’s sets. Ancona sheds light upon four of the most revered of Graham’s Greek-based masterworks giving us an inside view of the brilliance of this collaboration. -- Terese Capucilli * Terese Capucilli *
