Martha Graham Studio Series - GrahamDeconstructed: Steps in the Street with SoHyun Bae, September 24 - 25, 2019

The Martha Graham Dance Company and SoHyun Bae have partnered on several experiments that combine interaction, technology and improvisation. In one of these collaborations, SoHyun created spontaneous sketches during a performance of "Steps in the Street," a Martha Graham masterwork from 1936 that is considered a seminal work of modernism. A larger-than-life image of SoHyun’s sketching was projected behind the dancers so that the audience could witness her images coming into being.  The evocative drawings, as you’ll see below, are imbued with the immediacy of SoHyun's capture and the bristling energy and haunting expressiveness of the Graham women.
