DESCRIPTION

The first book of the new publishing series GARAGE DANCE is a translation of Martha Graham’s autobiography.

Martha Graham (1894–1991) was an American modern dancer and choreographer. Blood Memory, which was written during the last year of her life, features many fascinating details of her phenomenal career in dance and her reminiscences about leading dancers, artists, and musicians she collaborated with, such as Maya Plisetskaya, Rudolf Nureyev, Liza Minelli, Madonna, Aaron Copland, and Alexander Calder.

The book will be presented by the series compiler and editor and contemporary dance historian Vita Khlopova.
