Martha Graham Dance Company Residency at Skidmore

During the course of a 3 week Summer intensive, Skidmore students will be developing online content to explore Martha Graham's technique and work. See News and Events for more information about this residency.

Welcome to the Martha Graham Center of Contemporary Dance, home of the Martha Graham Dance Company, the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance, and Martha Graham Resources.

The Martha Graham Dance Company, founded by Martha Graham in 1926, is the oldest, most celebrated modern dance company in the world. It presents the classic Graham repertory and new choreography in its home city of New York and on tour, featuring an international roster of today's most talented dance artists.

The Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance is the global center for instruction in the Martha Graham Technique and has provided instruction to thousands of students including such luminaries as Rudolf Nureyev, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Madonna, and Betty Ford. The School's arts education programs involve New York area students in exploring Martha Graham's genius and the creation of a new art form: American modern dance.

Martha Graham Resources oversees licensing of the Graham repertory, access to archives that comprise one of the world's great collections of dance history, and arts education programs that travel with the Company around the world.
