Michaela Towfighi , The New York Times; Martha Graham Dance Company Won’t Celebrate Centennial at Kennedy Center
"The Martha Graham Dance Company said on Friday that it would not perform at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts this spring as part of the troupe’s centennial tour across the United States.
“The Martha Graham Dance Company regrets that we are unable to perform at the Kennedy Center in April,” it said in a statement. “We hope to perform at the center in the future.”
The company did not give a reason for the withdrawal. But several artists and groups have pulled out of Kennedy Center events since its board of trustees voted last month to add President Trump’s name to the building."
