Martha Hill: A Dance Pioneer Honored in Glasgow

This event celebrates the life and legacy of Martha Hill, a towering figure in American modern dance. As the first Director of Dance at the Juilliard School for nearly 35 years, she shaped generations of dancers and choreographers, including Paul Taylor, Pina Bausch, and Bebe Neuwirth.

Attendees can expect an evening dedicated to Hill's pioneering spirit, which also saw her found the Bennington School of the Dance and co-direct the festival that became the American Dance Festival. The program highlights her profound influence on dance education and performance.

This is a unique opportunity to honor a woman the New York Times called "of incalculable importance in the development of modern dance in America." The event offers a deep dive into the history of modern dance through the lens of one of its most influential figures.
