MARTHA @ PRESS

"Richard Move's channeling of the modern dance diva is too brilliant for words".
Time Out New York
"I've seen quite a few people who imitate Martha... but it was never the essence of Martha, you know?"
...Martha is a cult figure, of course. Richard reflects her thoughts so brilliantly and precisely. It's amusing,
it's very clever and it's well-danced. It's to the point".
Mikhail Baryshnikov in Time Out New York
"A clever, disarming dance tribute to Martha Graham".
The New York Times
"Move has come up with an evening that shows what theatre, at it's best, can do. It is entertaining, original
and thought-provoking. And by juxtaposing genuine Martha wisdom alongside todays creative talents he
provides a context both for Graham's innovation and the developments she indirectly inspired".
The Daily Telegraph, London
"Sophisticated, dead on, letter perfect parody. A dandy education in modern dance".
The Village Voice
"After meeting him, I realized that he's not poking fun at Martha, it's genuinely an homage to her aesthetic,
her philosophy, her passion for dance. I'd seen him on video tape, and I thought his ability to pick up the
essence of Martha was extraordinary".
Bonnie Oda Homsey, former member of the Martha Graham Company
"With witty puns, savage eye-rolling glances and stiff-jawed dignity, a robed Richard Move uncannily evoked
the diva presence of deceased modern dance icon Martha Graham...".
The Los Angeles Times
"Vocally immaculate, (Move) is Graham, and a perfect repository of all her glamour and camp genius".
THE STAGE,London
"...Move has turned a personal artistic obsession into one of the New York dance scene's most delicious
success stories".
The London Times New York
"...hilarious and technically perfect".
VOGUE Magazine
"...downtown's hot ticket".
The New Yorker
"Richard Move brings Martha Graham back to life".
The Los Angeles Times
" Richard Move is a genius. He's more Martha Graham than Martha Graham was."
Mark Morris in Time Out New York
