  • From featured teaching artist Peggy Lyman Hayes:
    "Hello Martha Graham community. The class we are posting today is a level IV technique class, taught by me, recorded January 2018 during our Winter Intensive course. Filmed by Jeanne Suggs with accompaniment by Eran Fink, the class consists of floor work, standing and traveling combinations totaling 50 minutes. It was the third class of the week during which I added new sequences to material we had been working on for two days. So, put on your unitards, move your furniture out of the way, and add your own unique dancing to the on-screen talents of the Graham dancers."
    Musician: Erán Fink - eranfinkdrums

    The legendary Peggy Lyman teaching advanced Graham technique ... OMG! This is like a dream. Fantastic class. Almost all the Graham technique I've learned from the Internet. This class is by far the best. A huge thank you and warm wishes to Peggy Lyman from a humble Graham devotee in Sri Lanka. You were unforgettable in "Lamentations!"

    What a wonderful teacher! I studied Dance and Drama at Dartington College of Arts in the UK at the end of the 1960s. Our teacher was the fabulous Flora Cushman, and i don't think we realised how privileged we were. The tution was all free in those days too! Warching this, I can feel every movement, right diwn to how the floor used to hurt the tops of my feet on some of the floor exercises! Best wishes to all dancers everywhere!

    I've always wanted to tak class with Peggy Lyman, but i never got around to it 😢, but i absolutely loved my classes with Susan Kakuchi, Kevin Predmore, Jacqulyn Bulglisi, and Kazuko Hirabayashi at The Ailey School during 1999-2003. The amount of information i learned. Graham technique is my favorite Dance technique. The levels and elements are vast and outstanding! ❤❤❤❤

    Love this. Quite doable too. Can’t get out at the moment, as everyone else. This is great. Also well paced. Not too fast, just right. I always feel that going slower is better for strengthening than speeding along.

    What an incredible gift of light in these dark times. The technique in all its glory! The music is magnificent, too. I studied Graham technique in my 20’s with Dance June Lewis in New York, then in my 40’s by auditing with the dance department at Temple University where I now live in Philadelphia, then with Jeanne Ruddy Dance Company, and most recently (last year in my late 50’s) with Jennifer Binford Johnson at Kun-Yang Lin’s dance studio. As an adult amateur, it’s nearly impossible for me to find classes and resources that help me to learn. And yet, I still want to recapture my skills and progress in this technique that speaks to me so deeply. I’ll try to work myself up to this.

    שיעור מקסים הייתי רוצה את הווריאציה שבאמצע כתובה או שההדגמה שלה היא לא מול הקהל אלא עם גב לקהל כדי שיהיה קל יותר ללמוד אותה ולעקוב באופן מדוייק אחרי הכיוונים. אני תמיד לימדתי כשאני לפני התלמידות/ התלמידים שלי עם הגב אליהם ואחרי שהבינו ההדגמה שלי מולם - היא כמו ראי כלומר רגל ימין שלהם היא שמאל שלי וכו' אבל הלמידה היא תמיד עם הכיוון שלהם.

    Very tortured, tight and held-in. Painful looking! My hips hurt looking at this. Dancers are strong. Shapes are dated. Perhaps evolve the core technique to incorporate more release? It seems like the logical conclusion
