"Martha Graham's Cold War: The Dance of American Diplomacy" a lecture by Dr. Victoria Phillips, Co-sponsored by the Departments of History and Physical Education & Recreation.
Graham famously denied that her work was political, yet her dances themselves show a deep promotion of freedom and the constitutional principles of the United States. Her choreographic works, preeminence as a company leader, and dynamism as a performer both on and off-stage made her an invaluable Cold War cultural export. As one star dancer from the early Cold War said to Victoria, "Never forget: Martha was a genius."
