Onstage with Martha Graham is the story of Stuart Hodes, a versatile and influential dancer who got his start with Martha Graham, an icon of modern dance. His memoir is a rare firsthand view of the dance world in the 1940s and through the end of the twentieth century. One of the few male dancers in Graham's company--and in the New York dance scene at the time--Hodes offers a unique perspective and a one-of-a-kind narrative. He describes how he fell into the art by chance, happening to walk into Graham's studio one day. He was soon hooked. He documents his experiences, travels, passions, and loves while learning from and performing with Graham, during which time he saw most of the United States, much of Europe, and some of Asia. Advancing quickly, he eventually danced as Graham's partner in Appalachian Spring, Deaths and Entrances, Every Soul is a Circus, and Errand into the Maze. In his portrait of Martha Graham, who was the center of his dancing world, Hodes recounts conversations, revelations, bouts of temper and creativity, the daily ritual of deeply physical dancing, and the never-ending search for artistic validity. Direct, often humorous, and always authentic, Hodes shares his delight in dance as both hard work and a fantastic adventure"--Back cover. 505 00 $a Machine generated contents note: $g 10. $t A Presence Is Gone. $g 2. $t Moves -- $g 3. $t Dance Lessons -- $g 4. $t The Green Tours -- $g 5. $t TKO'd in Paris and London -- $g 6. $t Drink the Sky -- $g 7. $t The Grand Tour -- $g 8. $t Asia -- $g 9. $t Dancing Fool -- $g 10. $t A Presence Is Gone. 600 10 $a Hodes, Stuart. 600 10 $a Graham, Martha. 600 17 $a Graham, Martha. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00036419 600 17 $a Hodes, Stuart. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00410423 650 0 $a Dancers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Modern dance $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Dancers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00887581 650 7 $a Modern dance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01024421 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Jowitt, Deborah, $e writer of foreword. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030647.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=71FA7B82323411EC8B1165C359ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
