Abstract

Abstract: Martha Graham's work nearly spanned the century, but the decade of the 1930's was of utmost importance both personally and socio-politically. This was the time of the Great Depression in America and Graham's dancing served her country well to artistically move beyond it in the heroic journey of separation, initiation, and return. Her dance was far more than entertainment in relation to the difficult times. In a Jungian theoretical framework, it was compensatory in a powerfully symbolic way. Included here is a brief description of the social climate of the decade and a presentation of C.G. Jung's concepts of symbolic process and compensatory behavior, followed by explorations of three of Graham's dances of that decade “Lamentation,” “Frontier,” and “Every Soul Is a Circus.” She helped the culture move “beyond depression” with these dances. The conclusion is an elaboration of the metaphorical relationship between Graham and her dances and the treatment of clinical depression by dance/movement therapists.
