Lloyd Knight, principal dancer with Martha Graham Dance Company, is in his zone. He joined the Graham Company in 2005 and was promoted to soloist in 2009. In 2014 hard work, diligence and appreciation for choreography Knight simply defines as, “art” was rewarded with a promotion to principal dancer. On Wednesday April 11th the Martha Graham Dance Company will begin a four performance New York City season at New York City Center. O&A NYC Editor in Chief Walter Rutledge sat down with Lloyd for what has become our annual pre-season chat.
In addition to dance Knight has ventured into modeling, a secret passion he brushes off as a “side job”. In his day job Knight looks forward to a season of new challenges, these include dancing Adam in Embattled Garden, and roles in Rite Of Spring and Lucinda Childs new work Historie.
