Join Oliver Tobin, former dancer with the Martha Graham Dance Company and curator of the exhibition “Martha Graham: Collaborations,” in a movement workshop for adults inspired by Martha Graham’s seminal solo “Lamentation” at The Church in Sag Harbor on Saturday, March 21, at 12:30 PM.
Open to all backgrounds and experience levels, the workshop introduces the expressive foundations of the Martha Graham Technique and explores storytelling through breath, shape, and movement. Working in a supportive and reflective environment, movers will explore themes of grief, containment, release, resilience, and transformation at the heart of “Lamentation.”
Presented in dialogue with the exhibition, this workshop invites physical exploration, reflection, and connection while honoring Graham’s belief in the body as a vessel for human experience and emotional truth.
Participants should dress comfortably and bring a water bottle. Socks or bare feet are recommended for movement.
