I worked with a Dancer and Choreographer from the Martha Graham Dance Company in New York to create this Google Doodle that was released on May 10th and 11th on Google.com. More of Ryan's animations at ryanwoodwardart.com

    Your vision of Martha Graham's dancing is pure poetry. It captures not only her technique but the spirit of her movement. I saw her company in the 1970s when she was not dancing but still active as artistic director - your "doodle" zoomed me back to that memorable evening. Thank you!
