Learning to perform the intricate dances choreographed by the late Martha Graham can be a seemingly indomitable task. To many outside of the field of dance, the process may seem impenetrable. This situation has in part been remedied by the creation of this remarkable website which offers the experiences of Jordy Kandinsky (the newest member of the Martha Dance Graham Company), as she is going through this very process. Upon entering the site, visitors can enter Jordy’s “locker” to read through her notes on working on such productions as Diversions of Angels, Lamentation, and Appalachian Spring. Of course, such a site wouldn’t be complete without a selection of video and audio clips, and this one includes excerpts from all of these ballets, along with a very special clip of Ms. Graham herself performing movements from Lamentation.
