The expressive, dramatic \u201cGraham technique\u201d is still taught today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1944, Graham collaborated with noted U.S. composer Aaron Copland on a piece titled \u201cAppalachian Spring.\u201d Copland\u2019s music for the piece earned him a Pulitzer Prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After Graham\u2019s death in 1991, the company endured difficult times, but since about the mid-2000s has regained its footing. Dancers and choreographers associated with the company over the decades included luminaries like Merce Cunningham, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-manhattan-s-office-market-performance\">Manhattan\u2019s office market performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first quarter saw Manhattan experience the strongest start of office leasing since 2014, with volume up by 11.6 percent, quarter-over-quarter, according to a report from Colliers. That amounted to a total of 11.4 million square feet of leasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Average asking office rents across the borough rose by 1.5 percent, to $74.53 per square foot. Manhattan\u2019s overall office availability slid to 16.1 percent, which Colliers reported was the borough\u2019s tightest since February 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of January, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/rudin-lands-hq-lease-at-manhattan-tower\/\">Rudin landed Spectrum Reach<\/a>, Charter Communications\u2019 ad sales business, as a tenant at 3 Times Square.
