In celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment, affording women the right to vote, the EVE Project features a comprehensive range of women choreographers, from the deepest roots of modern dance—Martha Graham’s heroines and anti-heroines—to contemporary superstars. The program includes Diversion of Angels, Graham’s lyrical essay on love; Ekstasis, a gorgeous reconstruction of Graham’s original creation of the discovery of a woman’s body; Lamentation Variations, in which today’s choreographers take inspiration from Graham’s iconic Lamentation; and Errand into the Maze, a Graham masterwork and her signature role, reconstructed with accented choreography after hurricane Sandy.
