"I had to work so hard to catch up in that class," Dinan says And this spring, the 17-year-old got her reward: She performed with the Martha Graham Dance Company at City Center, in a work created by the choreographer who helped revolutionize modern dance She'll attend Marymount Manhattan College this fall, while continuing her training at the Graham school " At 18, Brdnik did well at an international dance competition in Italy and won a scholarship to study at the Martha Graham Dance School "But I love the feeling of accomplishment when you work hard They were about to repeat the same "dolphin" sequence for the umpteenth time "Quiet!" Capucilli shouted Before Graham, the closest Dinan had been to dancing was baton twirling and cheerleading as a child Martha Graham's dance is not just about the body "What draws me to her is that Graham starts with the dancer as a human being, first," he says If your partner makes a mistake, you have to make the same mistake with him, and, you have to take a lot of breaths "It's about love, pain, sorrow, about our deepest feelings The training of a Graham artist involves more than the technical agility that liberates the body for emotional expression And you have to rely on yourself And she made them bigger "But you don't need to know Martha Graham technique to know what she did " â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: Martha Graham Dance Company, http://www " Graham once estimated that it takes about a decade to learn the gravity-defying moves, stretches, leaps and other superhuman feats of her choreography For example, Martha Graham's inspiration for 'Diversion of Angels' was a Kandinsky painting â€â€? a big splash of red on the canvas That applies to me, with all the traveling "Martha Graham loved teaching teenagers and I want to continue that tradition," Brdnik says Says one entry: "I wanted significant movement Dinan and McClary both appeared at City Center in "The Owl and the Pussycat," as humanized dolphins breaststroking their way across the water â€â€? a backdrop for this whimsical love story between a dour owl and a frivolous cat His hunger for dance was similar to Dinan's She started taking ballet lessons at 14 â€â€? considered late for a dancer â€â€? and was far behind the other youngsters in her Doylestown class, taught by two former dancers from Russia's famed Kirov Ballet She believed that explicitly sexual and violently disjointed movements, tremblings and falls expressed the vulnerable human being searching for love â€â€? or some kind of spiritual force A federal judge in New York ruled last year that most of Graham's choreography, sets and costumes belong to the dance center she founded in 1926, not to Protas "Young dancers must learn to connect all the arts," Brdnik says Graham had taught for decades at her studios in a town house on East 63rd Street, where her pupils included some of the greats of modern dance: Alvin Ailey, Twyla Tharp, Paul Taylor, Merce Cunningham During her long hours on the bus, she often leafs through her personal journal, which is filled with hundreds of quotes copied from Graham's writings When Brdnik was a teenager in his native Slovenia â€â€? a tiny nation, once part of Yugoslavia, that's nestled between Italy and Austria â€â€? he spent about three hours a day commuting by bus to and from his public school, home and dance class And the rehearsal continued They rehearsed the piece in the lower Manhattan studios of the American Ballet Theatre, which has far more space than the East 63rd Street building where the Graham school is based org " So when he judges would-be dancers at the next auditions on June 12, he'll try to get to know them first, as people " Many of the youngsters in the program had never seen a Graham dancer before, Brdnik says Graham died in 1991 at 96, leaving 181 dances marthagrahamdance When she gets to New York three hours later, the teen takes the subway to the Graham studios with a lofty goal: learning a language of the body that transformed modern dance the way Picasso changed painting, Stravinsky music and Frank Lloyd Wright architecture Dinan's small-town America is an exception to the urban experience of LeBaron McClary, 15, who attends high school on Manhattan's West Side " Dinan hopes to one day join the Graham company Graham Legacy Still Leads Dancers May 7, 9:56 AM EST It's all for the love of dance She built on basic human emotions His first dance experience came when he was 10, as an "extra" in a local production of "Jesus Christ Superstar This was the Graham company's first full season at City Center, its performing home, since operations were suspended in 2000 because of a court battle over the copyright of Graham's works, brought by her friend and heir, Ronald Protas At one point, McClary's heaving back carried a baby dolphin â€â€? 8-year-old Chiara Dello Joio, whose main concerns were to "count a lot They are works that resonate with everyone, Dinan says, "because they're about the individual trying to break away from society, to be their own person A lot of America is like Martha Graham's pieces: She overcame a lot of obstacles, and she said she was always alone in her mind Those are the kids who would otherwise never get a chance Last year, he revived this youth program once led by Graham, and which languished after she was gone Dancers stretched and chatted on the studio's wooden floor "I give scholarships to two kinds of students: the kind who already know how to dance, and the kind who have something special in them that needs developing Emily Dinan spends six hours a day on a Greyhound bus, doing her high-school homework during the round-trip ride to New York City from Doylestown, Pa Since September, at least twice each week, Dinan boards the Greyhound bus in Doylestown at 6:30 a m " Dinan started commuting to New York last September, after she auditioned and won a scholarship to the Martha Graham Young Artists Program, which aims "to train tomorrow's dance artists I did not want it to be beautiful or fluid But then, Graham, also a Pennsylvania native, only blossomed as a dancer when she was a young adult "And then they can understand things like, this sculpture here is the inspiration for this dance " "I just try to keep up with her," jokes McClary, who forged ahead with the little girl balanced on his back Brdnik has his students visit art museums, attend music and theater performances, and read great literature as well as Graham's own vivid writings, which reflect the same broad embrace of dance I wanted it to be fraught with inner meaning, with excitement and surge Days later at City Center, a handful of the budding dancers shared the stage with Graham dancers for the gala opening of the company's two-week run " "Emily hasn't missed a single class of about 100," Tadej Brdnik, 30, a Martha Graham principal dancer who heads its Young Artists Program, says I live in my own mind " Most of the current 25 students are minorities from New York City's five boroughs Leading the "Owl" run-through was Terese Capucilli, one of the company's two artistic directors and a longtime Graham star dancer This dance represents the different stages of love She collaborated with such artists as composer Aaron Copland and sculptor Isamu Noguchi, who designed sets for the company It's about passion â€â€? passion for something, passion for anything In 1986, she established the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, which has grown to $100,000 "Poetry," founded in 1912, frequently has had less than $100 in its till org/ "Ruth Lilly has ensured our existence into perpetuity," Poetry editor Joe Parisi said in announcing the gift Friday at a dinner at the Arts Club of Chicago Deborah Cummins, president of the board of trustees of Modern Poetry Association that oversees the magazine, said the group will seek to increase its educational programs, devise seminars for teachers, expand grants and fellowships, and increase its publication of books Lilly, the last surviving great-grandchild of Eli Lilly, founder of pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly and Co Parisi thought her poems were good but did not meet the standards of a monthly that has published works by William Butler Yeats, W , first started sending poems to the journal in the early 1970s The exact amount of the gift will fluctuate with the value of Eli Lilly stock Conservative estimates, however, put the first installment in January at $10 million and the total over 30 years at more than $100 million S poetrymagazine Auden and Dylan Thomas â€â€?â€â€?â€â€?
