Using newly discovered archival sources, award-winning choreographer and dance historian Mark Franko reframes Graham's most famous creations, those from the World War II era, by restoring their rich historical and personal context. Graham matured as an artist during the global crisis of fascism, the conflict of World War II, and the post-war period that ushered in the Cold War. Franko focuses on four of her most powerful works, American Document (1938), Appalachian Spring (1944), Night Journey (1948), and Voyage (1953), tracing their connections to Graham's intense feelings of anti-fascism and her fascination with psychoanalysis. Moreover, Franko explores Graham's intense personal and professional bond with dancer and choreographer Erick Hawkins. The author traces the impact of their constantly changing feelings about each other and about their work, and how Graham wove together strands of love, passion, politics, and myth to create a unique and iconically American school of choreography and dance"--Publisher's website. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (p. 217-226) and index. 505 0 $a Myth, nationalism and embodiment in American document -- Politics under erasure : regionalism as cryptology -- The invention of Martha Graham : emergence and the strictures -- Jocasta at Colonus : post-Freudian landscapes -- "A possible somewhere (an impossible scene setting)." 600 10 $a Graham, Martha. 650 0 $a Dancers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Choreographers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Modern dance $z United States $x Psychological aspects. 600 10 $a Hawkins, Erick $x Influence. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z United States. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826052935.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20140715010553.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3E72A71CF71F11E185565BE26AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
