Rediscovering the world of Martha Graham

When the Martha Graham Dance Company performs in Taiwan this weekend with principal dancer Sheu Fang-yi, it will bring some of the greatest works of modern dance back to her home town

By Diane Baker  /  STAFF REPORTER

Sheu will be dancing in Errand in the Maze and Chronicle on Saturday and Cave of the Heart and Acts of Life on Sunday.

Graham was frequently quoted as saying that her mission in life was to "chart the graph of the heart." She did this by evoking strong, almost visceral emotions, both in her dancers and in her audiences. Her women-centered work continues to resonate as strongly today as it did when first performed.
