One of the coolest things about this program was being able to sit in on rehearsals. To wittness the process of putting a show together, is an opportunity that doesn’t happen very often. To be able to see the Martha Graham Company’s Clytemnestra come together piece by piece has been really educational and inspiring. Especially since we learned pieces from the name-calling and watched the older version of the piece, we had a greater understanding and deeper connection to the work. Watching the open rehearsal for the prologue to Clytemnestra was amazing. At the end I wish I could have seen more!
From watching some of the rehearsals for Clytemnestra, I was able to see bits and pieces of the work in progress, and so it was really interesting to see all the pieces come together at the open rehearsal. I really hope I am able to see Clytemnestra when the company comes to NYC next year, I am really looking forward to seeing how the whole work comes together. To have the opportunity to see the inner workings of a company has been an amazing experience and really was one of the best parts of the program.
