Since 1926, the Martha Graham Dance Company has been a leader in an evolving art form. Today, the world’s oldest modern dance company is embracing a new programming vision that showcases masterpieces by Graham alongside newly commissioned works from contemporary artists.
In 2024, the Company brings this vision to Chapel Hill via Jamar Roberts’ potent collaboration with Rhiannon Giddens. This work will live alongside Rodeo, Agnes de Mille’s 1942 classic, and Maple Leaf Rag, Graham’s last completed dance, set to ragtime compositions by the great Scott Joplin.
