For Graham, dance felt like a sacred mission: she wanted to capture, through movement, the graph of the human heart.

So, she began to form a system of movement, completely drawn to the opposite direction to that in which her teachers were marching.

When everyone was exploring what was happening in foreign lands, Graham turned to the human soul.

What she was primarily interested in was to shed light on the motivations, the inner conflicts, the mental passions, the dark intentions that determine people's actions.

Martha Graham's technique is the first modern dance technique and was created in the beginning of the 20th century in order to pass through her work the energy of the living world.

She invented a new kinesthetic language and used it to express passion, rage, ecstasy, feelings intertwined with the human condition.

She developed it through endless experimentation in basic human movements and founded it on the constant alternation of contraction and release in perfect combination with exhalation and inhalation.

On this basis she built a whole vocabulary of movements and structured a course consisting of floor exercises, center and movement in space, through which the dancers move giving entity in all three dimensions.

Through sharp, angular, sharp movements, direct with depth and interiority and with constant practice of the technique, the dancer manages to strengthen one's body, shape it and discipline it while at the same time one manages to find the freedom of expression through the ultimate form.
