This landmark virtual Gala Performance is a climactic finish to a week-long celebration of the life and legacy of the great American choreographer Martha Graham featuring:

Lamentation, Graham’s iconic signature solo, performed by Blakeley White-McGuire presented by arrangement with Martha Graham Resources;

I am not an Indian dancer?, Balbir Singh’s latest work commissioned by ESD and inspired by two dancers, one grounded in Graham technique and the other in Kathak.

We are also proud to present two performances by the participants in the ESD Presents Martha Graham Professional Intensive:

An excerpt from Graham’s Dark Meadow Suite; and

Lament, a new work created collaboratively by the dancers and Eliot Smith, ESD’s Artistic Director.
