Martha Graham and Modern Dance | Dance & Fashion Symposium

Janet Eilber and Melissa Marra at The Museum at FIT's 14th annual fashion symposium, Dance & Fashion, held on October 23 & 24, 2014. The Dance & Fashion symposium explored how dance costume has inspired fashion, and how fashion designers have increasingly been creating dance costumes. Janet Eilber is a former principal dancer with the Martha Graham Dance Company. Now its artistic director, she is dedicated to creating new audience access to Grahams masterworks. Melissa Marra is the associate curator of education and public programs at The Museum at FIT. She contributed an essay on Martha Graham to the catalogue of Dance & Fashion and also coordinated production of the book. https://exhibitions.fitnyc.edu/dance-and-fashion/symposium/
