Neil Baldwin, Biographer of Pittsburgh-Born Dance Icon Martha Graham

Here is Martha Graham, from her birth and childhood on Pittsburgh’s North Side (Allegheny, Pennsylvania), to becoming one of the most important artistic forces of the twentieth century—the legendary dancer and choreographer who upended dance, propelling the art form into the modern age, and whose profound and pioneering influence is still being felt today. Neil Baldwin, author of admired biographies, gives us the artist and performer, the dance monument who led a cult of dance worshippers as well as the woman herself in all of her complexity.
