[.ca] Goddess: Martha Graham's Dancers Remember (ISBN 0879100869)

From Amazon.com:
Telling a story from one point of view is so much easier than from two. Or five. Or, goddess forbid, 30. But there are some events and people that demand many points of view. Dancer/choreographer Martha Graham was utterly different to different people in different circumstances and at different times in her sweeping career. In Robert Tracy's oral history, Goddess: Martha Graham's Dancers Remember, Graham's passion and creativity are recalled by 30 of her dancers from the 1920s to the 1990s, including many who became international stars: Merce Cunningham, Paul Taylor, Rudolf Nureyev, Anna Sokolow, and more. This Rashomon-style approach allows her many contradictions to stand out vividly, but all the respondents seek to analyze the spark that was the source of her creativity.

Unique insight into the life of a dance icon:
I enjoyed reading this book very much. It's a collection of stories about Martha collected from many of her students. It shows many different sides of Martha Graham, and how she interacted with other dancers. If you're interested in her life, her autobiography is also great reading.

It gives a very close idea of who Martha was...:
If you know, who Martha Graham was, then it's time to find out what people who worked with her really think about her work, and their experience for their life. Names such as ,Merce Cunningham, Paul Taylor, Pearl Lang, and more, are in the book, and they are saying what they think . Robert Tracy, the Author, meet all of them, and through his writing, it's your turn to meet them, have a good reading...
