Martha Graham

A dancer and choreographer, Graham was an inspiring person. During the mid-1920s, Martha started a new type of dance, one that was very different from classical ballet. She created over 170 dances that were preformed by her company. Graham's work was not immediately excepted by critics and one called her pieces "uncompromisingly ugly". The main reason for these comments was because she didn't use elaborate costumes and sets. She also used music as an accompaniment to her dances. Today Martha is known as an "outstanding innovator in the history if dance".
