During the showing last night I was astounded by the ability of the dancers technique. I’d say the “norm” is that through history the newer generations, as Janet explained last evening, were always the ones who can jump higher and have better extensions. What surprised me so much last night watching the dancers is how minimal the change is. I’m not saying that the dancers themselves aren’t getting better, because they are, but I’m suggesting how ahead of its time Martha’s work really is. Clytemnestra like many Graham masterworks is age-less and no matter how dated the particular costumes are the movement will always remain the most relate able work out there.
