View all Martha Graham Quotes

The body is shaped, disciplined, honoured, and in time, trusted. The movement becomes clean, precise, eloquent, truthful. Movement never lies. It is a barometer telling the state of the soul's weather to all who can read it. This might be called the law of the dancer's life — the law which governs the outer aspects.

Martha Graham

Martha Graham

Dancers today can do anything; the technique is phenomenal. The passion and the meaning to their movement can be another thing.
