Martha Graham and Greek Myth is an initiative combining classical philology and live dance aimed to underline the timeless value of Greek myth and the significance of modern dance as a vehicle for communication, connection, and preservation of the cultural heritage of Greece. The initiative explores the varied interpretations of myth from antiquity to modern times, underscores the immense influence of the Ancient Greeks on American culture and the arts, and focuses on examining Martha Graham’s use of Ancient Greek mythology and the portrayal of Ancient Greek heroes in her work. The initiative provides information and spreads awareness on myth and dance through its social media accounts on Instagram and Facebook. In addition, the initiative produces a series of educational and thrilling presentations which integrate live dance into an informative talk and include excerpts from Graham’s Greek-themed repertory.
