  Bessie Schonberg danced with Martha Graham until a knee injury forced her to quit and turn to teaching. For the next 70 years, she inspired and challenged other dancers and choreographers; Merce Cunningham, Jerome Robbins, Meredith Monk, Lucinda Childs and Ronald K. Brown are just a few who were influenced by her passion for dance. Bessie tells us her own incredible story intercut with her teaching at Julliard, Dance Theater Workshop, and Jacob’s Pillow. |
