Martha Graham - Lamentation

[OohButterfly]

@gymnasticsgirl78 She is not a freak, she was an amazing dancer who changed the way of dancing forever. I'm doing a report on her right now and she is fantastic. Just because she does things a bit differently doesn't mean she's a freak.

[jazl10]

what is the video about? how is this a lamentation.. can anyone share the insight plz

[SierraLWilliams]

@jazl10 it is about what happens in your body when you feel sad emotions

[jazl10]

@SierraLWilliams thanku:)

[gymnasticsgirl78]

She such a freak!!!

[PaytonLanders]

@gymnasticsgirl78 she is not a freak, its the way she expresses herself

[MarieSunSmith]

in magnet art class we did an assignment of this piece we got the magnet dancers wraped up in cloth and to dance and then stop at one movement and we were to draw them, the assignment focused on the wrinkles that cloth makes and what better example of this than martha graham's lamentation. we did this my freshman, so around 2008-2009...

[entierro92]

la animacion de google estuvo mejor

[dgshbz]

Martha Graham is a wonderful dancer. You can see how she connects to the music by the way she moves. The most amazing thing that I learned is that she has danced and choreographedfor 70 years. Happy Birthday Martha Bless ♥

This is the "E" in the Google Doodle!

[Gearz86]

Lol....k

[Kwasiadjeid]

things google does

[Ana100682]

Vou escrever em português. Isto é uma prova explícita em como uma simples dança pode retratar tão bem os sentimentos... Quem já passou por dor, tragédia e sentimento de perda reconhece-se nesta dança... Fenomenal...!

@SpainIsHardcore

El arte moderno en general es muy difícil de interpretar y de apreciar, pero no por eso deja de ser arte, o baile en éste caso. Se basa en lo que te haga sentir, en tu interpretación personal, no en lo que signifique a nivel general. Si te disgusta ya ha conseguido su objetivo, que es despertar un sentimiento.

[PevkaLara]

google brought me here and i am very inspired. this is art. havent seen art for a long time. i am sure red lipstick, one hand covered - one hand seen means something. i have my own version of explanation. seening this video wanted me to start expressing with this. but i doubt i could find a class for this kind of danceing where i live. never the less, its wonderfull :)

[Salamendre456]

Awww google :3

[jazmesh]

wow, she's fantastic!! (or she WAS, better to say :( )

[kasonleung]

[kayser82]

She makes me remember my uncle Patricio Bunster. The way they move and feel the dance, it's amazing!!

[barbiedoll60s]

[jrmetmoi]

[SomethingOfMeisSorry]

@icetubig21 Hahha

You can use that for quiz bees

[TheVogue37]

@icetubig21 Apparently, mass media has exposed finally some charm that is working for the better of side of society: intelligent and artistic culture.

[AL6352]

@icetubig21 i came here because of google

[lucky20803080]

If anyone has seen summer heights high, finally i know why Mr G is dancing in that purple costume!

[IAmRomz]

me too... ;) nice rendition...

[roaravi]

Google brought me here too....this lady is just amazing....she is born to dance!!

[mercy1305]

@roaravi she was, she died in 1991 :/

[KakaEminem]

@roaravi shut up i mean like srsly the media can trick people so easily i'm not saying she is bad

but u talk as if u saw her in real life or something

[roaravi]

@KakaEminem But my dear friend, i think to know some1 u really don't need to see any1 in person. If u read carefully, I didn't comment on her character, behavior, hobbies or her interests. I simply praised what i saw....what u saw.....what.... every1 else is watching. And to praise that i really don't think one has to meet her in person. Besides watching her live or....... on youtube doesn't make much difference...if u can feel that way.

[arielmagne]

@roaravi yeah me too, now we know more about this great artist.

[PerlinaRose]

I don't know who is she but Google brought me here!!

[nutthachaiyotha]

@PerlinaRose So do I. :)

[WorldDanceAllianceEU]

My only you! Yes Martha, I meet you, we loved each other and we stand still side by side... love, dance, hate e future.......

[krrobi]

It's amazing how one piece of purple material and one body can ignite so much POWER!!!!!!
