Trivia:

Even though she had spent much of her life performing for large audiences and had been filmed before, Martha Graham still found herself too afraid of the camera to speak to it when she was being filmed in her studio. After losing a day of shooting when Graham locked herself in her dressing room and refused to come out, producer Nathan Kroll came up with the idea to film Graham as she was in her dressing room dressing for a performance. This idea worked, as Graham was able to occupy herself with her make-up and costumes as she delivered her lines, making her significantly less nervous.
