Bonnie Bird was one of the original members of the Martha Graham Dance Company and became the first official teacher of the Graham technique – her pupils included Merce Cunningham. The Bonnie Bird Choreography Fund was established in 1985 to support and promote innovative choreographers in Britain, Europe and America.
