Desc: Untitled Martha Graham Biopic: Graham was a pioneer who brought themes of sexuality, race, gender and social and political issues to her work way ahead of her time. She revolutionized dance, lighting, stage designing. She single-handedly defined contemporary dance as a uniquely American art form, which the nation has in turn shared with the world. Martha turned down Hitler's invitation to dance at the '36 Olympics in Nazi Germany and was the first dancer to perform at the White House. She created 181 masterpiece dance compositions. She was named Dancer of the Century by TIME Magazine. Her personal life tumultuous and rich. Martha Graham was to modern dance what Pablo Picasso was to modern art or Frank Lloyd Wright was to architecture: the single greatest innovator of the century.
