問題詳情

第36至40顆為顆組     Dancer and choreographer, Martha Graham was regarded as one of the foremost pioneers of modern dance, whose influence on dance can be compared to the influence Stravinsky had on music or Picasso had on the visual arts. 36 She invented a new language of movement, and used it to reveal the passion, the rage and the ecstasy common to human experience. She danced and choreographed for over seventy years, and was the first dancer ever to perform at The White House, the first dancer ever to travel abroad as a cultural ambassador, and the first dancer ever to receive the highest civilian award of the USA: the Medal of Freedom.    37 Graham started her career at an age that was considered late for a dancer. By the late 1960s，she was still dancing and turned increasingly to alcohol to soothe her own despair at her declining body. A younger generation who had heard of her legend wento her later performances and were confused about what all the fuss was about. 38 Inthe end, when the chorus of critics grew too loud, Graham finally left the stage.     In the years that followed her departure from the stage Graham sank into a deep depression and she abused alcohol to numb her pain. In her autobiography Blood Memory she wrote:  [When I stopped dancing] I had lost my will to live. I stayed home alone, ate very little, and drank too much and brooded. My face was mined, and people say I looked odd, which I agreed with. 39 I was in the hospital for a long time, much of it in a coma.     To the delight and surprise of her fans, Graham not only survived her hospital stay but she rallied. In 1972 she quit drinking, returned to her studio, reorganized her company and went on to choreograph ten new ballets and many revivals. 40 Graham     choreographed until her death from pneumonia in 1991 at the age of 96.
