Martha Graham Dance Company Tue, Apr 14 & Wed, Apr 15 • 7:30pm Described by The Washington Post as “one of the seven wonders of the artistic universe” and by The New York Times as “one of the great companies of the world, the Martha Graham Dance Company returns to Memorial Hall with a program of classic works by Graham alongside new pieces by today’s most exciting choreographers including Nacho Duato’s Rust, commissioned by Carolina Performing Arts and presented at Memorial Hall in 2013. Modern dance pioneer Martha Graham, who founded the company in 1926, stands alongside Pablo Picasso, Igor Stravinsky, George Balanchine, and Coco Chanel as an icon of 20th-century modernism, revolutionizing the dance world with her unorthodox movement language and socially charged exploration of spiritual and emotional themes. Showcasing masterpieces and newly commissioned works, this superb company inspires generations of choreographers and dance lovers. CPA10 Artist
