Welcome to our 95th Season!
We are creating new ways for you to experience Graham — opening the digital doors to the depth and breadth of all we do.
Virtually everything will be available to you this season — from a front row seat at our popular GrahamDeconstructed shows to insider Mini-Videos from our dancers and unique gems from our archives.
And our season allows you to become a modern day Medici! With as little as a $3 monthly membership on our new Patreon platform, you’ll be a Graham Insider and provide much needed support — all while enjoying special content available only on Patreon.
Our amazing dancers are not only nimble onstage but in the creation of online artistry. Check out our Calendar of Events. We look forward to sharing all aspects of their talents in our 95th season—one that will be like no other!

MARTHA MATINEES:
THE EVE PROJECT
Our popular Martha Matinees series returns with the finale of The Eve Project, the Company’s celebration of the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment! We’ll screen a rarely-seen film by Julien Bryan of Martha Graham in her masterwork Frontier from 1935. We’ll also premiere a montage of submissions from our #19Poses Insta-Graham Challenge – and announce the challenge winners! We’ll close the matinee with a recent performance of Errand into the Maze, danced by the always wonderful Charlotte Landreau and Lloyd Mayor.

OUR HISTORY
The Martha Graham Dance Company has been a world leader in the evolving art form of modern dance since its founding in 1926.
The Company embraces a new vision that showcases masterpieces by Graham alongside newly commissioned works by contemporary artists. With programs that offer a rich thematic narrative, the Company creates new platforms for contemporary dance and multiple points of access for audiences.
Since its inception, the Martha Graham Dance Company has received international acclaim from audiences in more than 50 countries throughout North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Russia, and the Middle East.
THE MARTHA GRAHAM SCHOOL
The Martha Graham School is the oldest professional school of dance in the United States and the only one primarily focused on the Martha Graham Technique and repertory. Classes are taught by faculty who are current or former members of the Martha Graham Dance Company, and who trained with Martha Graham herself or with her first-generation acolytes.
Full-time programs are offered for intermediate and advanced pre-professional students seeking excellent training in the Martha Graham Technique and repertory along with theory, pedagogy and related disciplines.
The Martha Graham School offers Intensive Programs for adults and teens, specifically designed for students and professionals who are unable to attend the Martha Graham School year-round or who wish to progress rapidly in the Martha Graham Technique.
The Martha Graham School’s leading educational outreach program, Teens@Graham, offers aspiring dancers ages 13-18 the opportunity to improve vocational skills and academic performance through study of the Graham Technique, composition, and repertory.
Graham 2 is a pre-professional dance company drawn from the most advanced students of the Martha Graham School. Its mission is threefold: to bring fresh energy, passion, and vision to the brilliant tradition of Martha Graham; to bring the Graham tradition to a younger audience, smaller venues, and to cultural communities; and to be a springboard for young dancers to enter the professional dance world.
