Martha Graham Dance Company celebrated the opening of its 85th Anniversary Season on Tuesday evening, March 16th, at Lincoln Center's Rose Theater. The stellar performance was a sight to behold. While photography was not allowed during the performance for obvious reasons, the imagery remains emblazoned in the minds of those fortunate enough to attend.

Robert Wilson's "Snow on the Mesa" (1995) flowed into "Maple Leaf Rag" (a 1990 Martha Graham original), working as an interesting combination. Drawing the viewer in was Wilson's effortlessly executed personal portrait of Martha Graham. In "Snow on the Mesa", Wilson reflects many aspects of Graham's persona, her interest in early America and the Shakers, her love for nature and the MidWest, her interest in Colin McFee and Balinese dance and, lastly, her interest in Western myths and Asian culture.
