Technique Workshop with Peter London (AUG 2007)

[PilatesBodywork]

I did Graham years ago and loved it. It is exciting to watch, too. But you're never going to make a workout tape out of this. I teach fitness now, and have experience with non-dancers from all walks of life. I know how to give them a workout that works, and Graham is inaccessible to all but an elite. It is so much harder than Yoga or Pilates, that they exist in different universes. I hate to be negative, but it won't work. You can't make a workout video out of this. But good luck anyway.

@PilatesBodywork They were probably speaking of a Martha Graham workout for those of a dance background.. likely in ballet and modern.

[dsammie19]

ok thankyou :)

[dbuttle20]

for an assignment at university i have to choreograph a dance in the style of Martha Graham, does anyone no what music i would use?

[acsadancer]

oh well, you can use lots of instrumental music but i made coreographies with this technique and i use sigur ros music, bjork, the cranes, regina spektor, try not to use very common or commercial music because that will kept the audience attention instead of the coreography, good luck =)

[DoMyHair305]

this man is one of the best graham teachers i've ever taken. if you get a chance, take his class!

[colliflower715]

haha im a dancer i do those warm ups all the time!

[sparkles126]

I just learned all these warm ups and GOSH do they hurt ur hips!!!!! it is so facinating to me of all the things ur hips and pelvis can control....Martha Graham was one amazing woman to create this style of dance!

[eternoloser]

my favorites on contemporary dance

I'm a painter who draw many times in Graham classes, if you like to see I got an animation about an exercise made by me.

cheers

[tortoe]

I haven't danced in years, but watching this I remember the billion times I did those warm ups!

I miss it so much!

[butifarra61]

true, we have to go back and capture the magic of our youth...I think tomorrow I am going to practice this. Last time I dance graham was in 1979. I swim and jog? and do yoga so I guess I can? This video will help me remember...thanks. Not many classes are offered?

[modelsrperfection]

its really good. i find it better than normal contemporary

[appetite77]

omg its raj!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Corky2909]

AND GO!!!

[wesleyan97]

The Graham people really need to create a series of workout tapes--Pilates and yoga people would eat this stuff up.

[tadejny]

I could not agree more,.. all I can say we are talking about it,.... keep you posted.

[diazturca]
