Two dance films documenting the work of revolutionary Denishawn classmates Martha Graham and Doris Humphrey.
Martha Graham, Le Corps Révélé (1994)
Choregraphie: Martha Graham
Director: Catherine Tatge-Lasseur
Widely viewed as the mother of modern dance, Martha Graham invented an entirely new language of movement. This documentary by Catherine Tatge-Lasseur exposes the heart of this incredible woman, explores her unhappy love affairs with Eric Hawkins, reveals the tyrannical lover, the depressive artist and even, in later life, the alcoholic.
Doris Humphrey technique, its creative potential with four early dances (1992)
Choregraphie: Doris Humphrey
Director: Ernestine Stodelle
Though her reputation may have been overshadowed by her classmate, Doris Humphrey's contribution to modern dance is no less crucial. Blending archive footage and re-enactments, this introduction to the art of Doris Humphrey was directed by a former member of the Humphrey-Weidman Company.
