Martha Graham, a dancer and choreographer who was a revolutionary artist of modern dance in the early 20Th century. Graham brought a different dynamics and interpretation to modern dance, one of sharp angles and natural motion. What Graham wanted to evoke with her style of dance was a heightened awareness of life.
