Immigrant, with music by Judith Shatin, at the Martha Graham Company

Noted choreogrpaher Virginie Mécène, a Martha Graham dancer who now runs Martha Graham 2, reimagined Martha Graham’s lost piece Immigrant. The original version used music by Arthur Honegger. For hers, Virginie chose music from Shatin’s Adveture on Mt. Hehuan, for solo bass drum and interactive electronics. The music for the dance was drawn from the recording of the premiere, with star percussionist I-Jen Fang, and Shatin on the electronics. You can find  more info and links to the premiere performance  here. This is one of  four performances on the Martha Graham season ‘Dances of the Mind’  at the Joyce Theatre. The others are on April 3 (7:30) April 6 (2:00 p.m.),  and  April 13 (2:00  p.m.).
