Steps in the Street

Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts presents a special performance of Martha Graham’s Steps in the Street as part of the school’s 20th anniversary celebration, as well as the 80th anniversary of the Martha
Graham Dance Company. The piece is directed by Yuriko Kikuchi, former soloist and rehearsal director for Martha Graham, and former associate artistic director for the Martha Graham Dance Company. To prepare for their performance, students also studied the Martha Graham technique, as well as the historical, political, and social influences of her work, under Ellen Graff, visiting faculty member and director of programs at the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance.
