Although extraordinarily impressive as feats of physical strength and coordination, as a former student of Graham, I don't understand why you all want to preserve this. All I see is massive destruction to joints and insane devotion to a dance form that is as limited/limiting and the ballet technique against which it was reacting. I wouldn't wish this technique on my enemies. That she could even stand up and walk is as impressive as the floor work itself.
Well when I teach class I do do some of these things.. Just get me to teach the advance class at Graham or an Intensive... And btw, this video is proof for those out there who always said Pearl was crazy and making stuff up... You know who you are...
Gorgeous! Pearl Lang taught me so many of these exercises, and Sophie Maslow too. Would be nice to bring these back into the classes again!! Incredible!
