Martha Graham Dance Company

Dances of the Mind
Tue Apr 1 - Sun Apr 13

The Martha Graham Dance Company returns to The Joyce celebrating its 99th anniversary with Dances of the Mind, featuring two programs that showcase electrifying psychodramas from the 1940s and '50s alongside powerful works from today's must-see choreographers. A third program features Graham’s rare Americana solos paired with Agnes de Mille’s joyous Rodeo and the stunning We the People (2024) by Jamar Roberts and Rhiannon Giddens.

Experience the Greek-themed Clytemnestra Act II (1958) and Errand into the Maze (1947), both with modernist sets by Isamu Noguchi, alongside Deaths and Entrances (1943), inspired by the Brontë sisters. These profound masterworks delve into the complex minds of Graham’s female protagonists. Don’t miss the World Premiere of Baye & Asa’s Cortege, Hofesh Shechter’s cathartic CAVE, and exciting new works by Xin Ying and Virginie Mécène.
