Isamu Noguchi and Martha Graham shared a respect for aesthetic clarity--organic movements, direct gestures--and their partnership resulted in Noguchi designing twenty-one sets for Graham's company. As one of Graham's principal dancers for over two decades, Yuriko has a degree of knowledge about Noguchi and Graham's collaborative efforts possessed by few others.

Writer, scholar, and educator, Mindy Aloff, and the Noguchi Museum's Curator, Bonnie Rychlak, join the octogenarian dancer-choreographer in an exploration of one of the 20th century's most affecting artistic partnerships.
