part of Glasgay!

A collage of old clips culled from Hollywood musicals and peppered with scenes where some-one is calling urgently for "Martha!" is like a tongue-in-cheek overture -though, honestly, can anything ever prepare you for the moment of La Graham's arrival, or for Richard Move's collusion in her confident resurrection? No, he is not a dead ringer for the deceased diva of modem dance, but Move has such a remarkable rapport with Martha Graham's essential traits; that self-belief which teeters on the cusp of arrogance; that stringent pursuit of perfection that sees her behave like an unyielding dominatrix in the dance studio - you soon accept him as Martha's "chosen one". An acolyte who will keep her image, her anecdotes, her philosophies and her works in the public arena, even - maybe especially - when that arena is full of folk who have never seen the company she founded, or any of her choreographies.
