Synopsis

*Night Journey*, the dance, premiered just over two and a half years after *Appalachian Spring* and is considered a close relative. Like its predecessor, it features a stream-of-consciousness narration, in this case following Jocasta as she recalls events leading up to her impending suicide. The work also includes introspective solos interspersed with ensemble dances. Here, however, the ensemble takes on a more ominous role, functioning as a counterpart to the chorus in Greek tragedy. Their presence evokes a sense of fear. The piece reflects Martha Graham's habitual economy of movement, which in this case is taken to its extreme.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
