The Martha Graham Dance Company’s annual gala was held to celebrate the launch of their Political Dance Project at Cedar Lake on May 19, 2010.

The honorary gala committee included Doo-Ri Chung, Anna Quindlen, Lesley Stahl and Faye Wattleton. Gala Co-Chairs are Victoria Geduld, Patrick Leonard and Calvin Tsao. The Gala committee includes LaRue and Archibald Allen, Edward and Magda Palacci Bleier, Amy and Philip Blumenthal, Anita Durst, Janet Eilber and John Warren, Beth and Rob Elliott, Victoria and Buzzy Geduld, Laura J. Gordon and Michael Mishik, Inga and Frank Golay, Lisa Resling Halpern, Peggy Lyman Hayes and Richard Hayes, Christine Jowers and Rob Friedman, Lena Kaplan, Deborah Kramm, Madeleine Kristofferson and John Ray, Patrick Leonard, Lorraine and John Oler, Adam and Judith Pinsker, Neila and Jeffrey Radtke, Judith and Herbert Schlosser, Paul Szilard, Lee and Marvin Traub, Calvin Tsao, Ronald Windisch and Janice Stanton and Inger K.

Noted guests included designer Josie Natori, former Martha Graham Dancer Peggy Lyman, designer Doo-Ri Chung, Faye Wattleton and architect Calvin Tsao.

Guests were treated to a special dance performance that previewed the Political Dance Project during cocktail hour followed by a superb dinner. The dancers performed selections from the political dance solos of the upcoming season including The Revolutionary, by Isadora Duncan and I Ain’t Got No Home, by Sophie Maslow. Duets from American Document (2010) and from Graham’s classic Appalachian Spring were also performed. Thirty-three high school students who have been chosen through an exciting all-city audition performed the opening section of Graham’s 1935 work, Panorama.

The evening celebrated the much-anticipated Martha Graham Dance Company’s June Season, which will debut the company’s Political Dance Project. Premiers include a re-conceived staging of American Document (2010) directed by Anne Bogart, created and performed by the Martha Graham Dance Company and SITI Company, and Dance is a Weapon. The classics Appalachian Spring, Panorama, and Sketches from Chronicle will also be performed.
