Martha Graham Dance Company in "Clytemnestra," with Sets by Isamu Noguchi, 1958

Martha Graham -- considered by many to be the mother of modern dance -- and sculptor and designer Isamu Noguchi were collaborators for over fifty years. Together, they produced more than eighteen original dance performances -- Noguchi as the set and prop designer and Graham as choreographer and dancer. Noguchi's spare but innovative designs paired perfectly with Graham's choreographic style.
