the free NYPL Performing Arts exhibition on Martha Graham runs at Lincoln Center through November 7. Its centennial view uses Graham's archive, Isamu Noguchi set pieces and Graham-designed costumes to show how her 1926 company replaced ballet's inherited vocabulary with a codified language meant to put emotion, memory and the unconscious onstage. The sets and clothing make that formal change visible as a collaboration of body, space and material. NYPL · Exhibition guide
