Williams—and the field of cultural studies he helped invent—has been particularly interested in relating rather than ...

Martha Graham in Love and War: The Life in the Work

Mark Franko

I take on Amy Koritz''s challenge to discuss Graham in terms of popular culture for the aim of Graham''s image, which was widely disseminated in that decade, was to reach the broadest public possible.10 “Graham was ... engaged in an inherently mixed endeavor,” writes Koritz, “—producing both a commodity offered for consumption by her audiences and a ''pure'' aesthetic object.”11 This statement makes sense when one thinks of the commodity not as the live dance, but as the image.

Moving Words: Re-Writing Dance

Preview

DeFrantz revisits the dances of several black male twentieth-century choreographers, particularly Alvin Ailey, in "Simmering Passivity: The Black Male Body in Concert Dance." He finds that many African-American men created images of themselves on stage that both reinscribed and subtly shifted long- standing stereotypes of the black body. Amy Koritz, like Manning, examines race in Martha Graham''s work, although her project is quite different. She views several of Graham''s dances ...
