Applauding at the wrong moment could interrupt a performance. Performers like to know when their work is appreciated, so it is ... ...read more
“The center of the stage is where I am.” ~ Martha Graham He stands on the stage relaxed, yet rigid. This posture is his makeup. The words that come out of his mouth seem to flow out naturally as if he were born to play this particular role. The audience is silently captivated, mesmer... ...read more
