THE FIRST AND THE FUTURE
MARTHA GRAHAM (1894–1991) is recognized as a primal artistic force of the 20th century, alongside Picasso, James Joyce, Stravinsky, and Frank Lloyd Wright, single-handedly defining contemporary dance as a uniquely American art form.
Since it’s founding in 1926, the MARTHA GRAHAM DANCE COMPANY has expanded contemporary dance’s vocabulary of movement and forever altered the scope of the art form by rooting works in contemporary social, political, psychological, and sexual contexts, deepening their impact and resonance.

OUR 1OOTH ANNIVERSARY
The Company has announced the second season of GRAHAM100, our three-season 100th anniversary celebration of Martha Graham and her Company’s legacy.
Curated under the theme Dances of the Mind, the 2024-25 season focuses on Graham’s psychological works, multifaceted women characters, and longtime artistic partnership with renowned visual artist Isamu Noguchi.
Other GRAHAM100 projects include a three-season collaboration with the Long Beach Opera, a documentary in development with PBS, and a book by NYC Dance Project featuring today’s Graham dancers and archival photos from the past 100 years.
