pearl lang passed away
Pearl Lang (1921-2009) passed away on February 24th, 2009. She was one of Graham's former principal dancers, she was a great dancer, choreographer and teacher. She interpreted the role of the One Who Dances in Letter to the World after Graham. I had the chance to speak with her in 2007, she was very nice and clear in replying to my answers. I am very upset about her departure. Here is a short film on her and here an article from the New York Times.

Thank you Adriana, I was away so could not see anything, I still cannot believe it. I just met Pearl Lang once but I considered her one of the wisest and strongest former Graham dancers and teachers...
