position 19

Women’s empowerment position 19 from Martha grahams. 

Created as part of The EVE Project, The 19 Posesboth honors the Suffragists and accentuates Martha Graham’s revolutionary approach to representing women onstage. In an era when women characters in dance were generally Goddesses, Princesses, Flowers or Swans, Graham began dancing complex, flawed, determined, and very powerful women – both heroines and anti heroines – Medea, Phaedra, Jocasta, Emily Dickinson, and Clytemnestra – to name just a few.
