Graham's Analyst and Student of Jung
About 1945, Martha Graham began Jungian analysis with Frances Wickes, a former Jung student then practicing in New York City. In her autobiography, Graham said that Wickes was a wonderful woman. She and I became friends, and I would go to have a drink or supper with her. In this letter, Graham shows how much she values Wickess opinions as she discusses her latest work, Voyage for a Theater, which premiered on May 17, 1953. Created during a difficult period after Grahams dance partner and husband, Erick Hawkins (19091994), left her, the work was not considered a success.
