"It takes about ten years to make a mature dancer. The training is twofold. First comes the study and practice of the craft which is the school where you are working in order to strengthen the muscular structure of the body. The Body is shaped, disciplined, honored, 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 its outer aspects."
Extract from Martha Graham's autobiography, Blood Memory.

GRAHAM II
• Virginie Mécène, Graham II Director
The Martha Graham Ensemble was founded in 1983 by Yuriko at the request of Martha Graham. Today, under the direction of Virginie Mecene since 2007, it is renamed as Graham II. Its mission is to bring fresh energy, passion and forward vision to the brilliant tradition of Martha Graham. As the New York Times noted, "...these fresh young performers bring to this distinctive style a welcome boldness and clarity."
Composed of up to 12 dancers, Graham II is the performing group of the Martha Graham School. The dancers have been selected from among the hundreds of students from across the world who study at the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance. Members are chosen by audition and are funded by scholarships. While a member of Graham II, dancers may be given the opportunity to apprentice with the Martha Graham Dance Company.
The dance troupe performs Martha Graham's repertory and the works of others choreographers within the Graham tradition and is highly committed to its arts outreach programs which are conducted all year long throughout the public school system in all five boroughs of New York.
Please contact the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance for information about booking.

About the Last Summer Intensive :
"...A fantastic way to strengthen and deepen one's technique in a friendly and supportive atmosphere, which serves to only increase one's love of the brilliance of Graham. That is Graham technique"
Christine Sirois, The Hartt School
"The Graham Summer Intensive was truly inspiring, through the Graham technique one finds a new connection between life and the spirituality of dance."
Malaika Floyd, Purchase College
"Every serious modern dancer must go to the Martha Graham Center of Contemporary Dance. It is key in the foundation of modern dance in America. Learning Graham technique not only deepens your knowledge of the technique, but also the knowledge of your body and soul."
Joshua Reaver, Florida State University
"I had a great time at the intensive this summer. I learned so much about the technique and loved exploring the movement. I am definitely interested in returning
again :)
Kimberly Vanwoesik, Southern Metodist University, Texas
