4. UPDATE -- For anyone who's trying to watch this today (Saturday 4/18/2020):

According to the running commentary on YouTube, there were too many people trying to live-stream this at 2:30 ET today, and it overwhelmed the server! So this is the day Martha Graham broke YouTube!!

They're going to upload everything to YouTube and make it available at 3:00 ET, and I believe it will remain up for a few days at least -- so anybody stumbling across this thread should be able to see/hear the performances and extra features via the link to the dance company's YouTube channel in the OP.

It was fun being a fly on the wall and reading the comments as people waited. There were several participants who actually knew and danced with the company while Martha Graham was around -- including some who danced with Nureyev and other luminaries. There was a lot of "inside baseball" dance talk, which was interesting but over my head, and some entertaining anecdotes as well. Not sure if those comments will be archived, but if so, some folks may enjoy reading them.
