The 8 min Film "The Flute of Krishna" was filmed in 1926 and

choreographed by the famous Martha Graham. One of America's earliest

color films, it was preserved in the archives of the Kodak Eastman

Corporation.

 

On April 18, 1926, Martha Graham's company, featuring students from

Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY, debuted in New York City.

The program was heavily derived from the Denishawn repertory,

featuring Graham in exotic solos and her students in a ballet ballad

called "The Flute Of Krishna." A review from The Dance, described

Graham as "clad in a heavy gold kimona, making patterns with her

body against a screen of brilliant lacquer...Martha Graham presents

a series of pictures that fire the imagination and make a hundred

stories for every gesture. Shall we say her dances are motion

pictures for the sophisticated.

Some early photographs of Martha Graham, during her tenure with the

Denishawn Dance Company, show her dressed in Indian costumes

performing "Three Poems of the East" and "Three Gopi Maidens". Later

on, when Graham charted her own path, she created choreography of

works like "Flute of Krishna".
