Martha Graham Contraction Photos

Dancers (from left to right) Maurizio Nardi, Blakeley White-McGuire, Jacqueline Bulnes and Sadira Aryan Smith. The couple on the left represent passionate, romantic love and the "ecstasy of the contraction" as shown in their spastic movement of dance.
The ADF performed Diversion of Angels, a dance choreographed in 1948 by Martha Graham. The dance, which was originally called Wilderness Stair, is described as representing three aspects of love: mature, erotic and adolescent love. Photo taken on Thursday, June 26, 2008.
