Transcript: Helen Has been to Martha Graham's recitals. But this is the first time she's been to a company rehearsal in the studio. Polly must spell the action into Helen's hand.But she is aware of the rhythm and movement of the dancer's through the vibrations in the floor. As Martha Graham realizes, Helen need not even touch the drums to feel intensely their vibrations. Though Helen Has been to their performances in a theater, it is only in a rehearsal room like this, that she is able to discover with her hands the line of body and limb that is the living pattern of the dance. Once Helen wanted to feel a lion. Annie Sullivan informed the zoo. A lion was fed. Helen entered the cage and felt the lion from it's head to it's tail.
