#SpeakingInDance | “I never feel alone,” said the @marthagrahamdance principal dancer @xin_ying_mgdc. “I feel empowered. And I have never been so proud to be a woman.” Martha Graham choreographed the all-female “Chronicle” in 1936, the same year she turned down the Nazis’ invitation to dance at the Olympic Games in Berlin and 16 years after women were granted the right to vote in the United States. Martha’s scorching response to the rise of fascism, “Chronicle,” set to music by Wallingford Riegger, happened at a time “when there were not many opportunities for women to make political statements,” said Janet Eilber, the company’s artistic director. The original “Chronicle” featured 5 sections; 3 have been reconstructed, including this one, “Prelude to Action,” in which Ying leads a group through geometric patterns that build in fervor. “My character is about moving with them to make sure they’re going to the right direction,” Ying said. “It’s kind of like the light at the end of the tunnel.” And with #MeToo, “Chronicle,” part of the Graham Company's season at @nycitycenter, has taken on greater meaning. “It’s not just the audience paying more attention,” Janet told the @ニューヨーク・タイムズ writer @giadk. “It’s the dancers’ understanding: They embody this powerful voice.” @mosadek made this video for #SpeakingInDance, our weekly series exploring the world of #dance.
