Martha Graham Technique

The Martha Graham Technique is a modern dance method that emphasizes the use of controlled, precise movements rooted in breath and core strength. It focuses on expressing deep emotion through angular, torsional, and grounded motions, often involving contraction and release of the torso. This approach encourages dancers to explore and convey human experiences authentically, connecting movement with psychological and emotional states. Developed by Martha Graham, it revolutionized modern dance by prioritizing personal expression and structural integrity, making movement both artistically meaningful and physically disciplined.
