In 1935, at Bennington College, Martha Graham created the iconic work Panorama. This piece “was Graham’s political call to action and her attempt to awaken social consciousness and is a stunning example of 1930s modernism.” The Martha Graham Dance Company returns to Bennington to celebrate its 100th year by teaching and performing this piece.
What forces and individuals contribute to shaping an artist’s legacy? What happens to all of the objects, materials, and correspondence that artists create during their lifetime? What is a catalogue raisonné? This one-credit remote module will introduce students to legacy work and to the nascent field of artist-endowed foundations, inviting the consideration of philosophical and creative questions, while simultaneously offering practical knowledge applicable to future professional opportunities.
This is a laboratory for making a mini dance project that can be developed within the short time frame of 3 weeks, right at the start of the term. Students will be working with others in the class to make, teach, and rehearse selections of movement material, culminating in a project that may be shown in Dance Workshop. This is an opportunity for working with instincts, for finding quick solutions and perhaps creating a base for future work.
