The Martha Graham Dance Company is the oldest continuously performing modern dance company in the world, founded in 1926 by the woman who virtually invented American modern dance. Graham's revolutionary technique — built on contraction and release, the breath of the body — transformed dance into a vehicle for raw emotional expression. The company preserves and performs her landmark choreographic works while commissioning new pieces that extend her legacy. It remains the essential link to the origins and continuing vitality of modern dance as an art form.
