I really love how Martha really makes sure Helen has a good time, and Helen is full of wonder

That was very humbling to see how, through her lack of hearing and sight, she actually experienced more in a given moment by feeling and other senses, and that seemed to leave a much deeper impression on her than if she had all five senses intact. It makes me want to just shut my eyes and cover my ears and discover the world all over again, and experience it the way Ms. Keller did :)

It seems Helen Keller really did her best to enjoy everything she was a beautiful inspiration to me I loved reading about her when I was a young girl and stiil do in my old age these movies are priceless 💕

This is incredible, all my life I've heard of her, but my students' bio on her has "opened mine eyes to her!

Interesting...never knew that much about her either.

That wa a rare treat. Never knew she visited a dance studio. Similarly, I did hear once from older family members that there is supposedly footage somewhere showing Helen actually dancing either, by herself or with a partner.

Thanks for the warm comment. Glad you liked it :) If you type the words... "Captioned - Helen Keller Stars in 1919 Movie - "Deliverance", into the youtube search box, you can see a short film clip of Helen dancing with a partner. Best wishes! :)

Can anyone NOT feel totally inspired by these glimpses into her life? Amazing!

This took my breath away. So tactile and intuitive. Thank you for these wonderful films of an extraordinary woman-----in this, a great time for women.

Thank you so much for showing how dancers can bring joy to everybody♥️🌞

Wow so beautiful and very nice I like all videos for Helen Keller amazing woman

thank you so much for your channel. I can't think the last time I was so moved to tears again and again by the purity, truth and spirit of a human being. I came here via Arthur Penn, whose film "the miracle worker" I had not heard of. How come I left school knowing about the cruelties of history and nothing of this woman? I suspect because the power of love can intimidate the slight machinery of society. Must go and blow my nose, something in my eye again.

Dear Helen you keep on amazing us with more wonderful film on Helen this is amazing to watch and great to see how she not only loves the dance but becomes involved in it. thanks fro sharing bernie

With each video -- I am continually amazed by this most remarkable woman! Her attitude and determination is just breathtaking and spellbinding! Thank you so much Helen for keeping us aware of this woman's attributes. It's the greatest medicine ever for all of us. Hugs & smiles Veronica :-)

Martha was so beautiful, she was my teacher

This video is so precious and beautiful thanks.I like Martha Graham's dance Studio,it's lovely.And the choregraphy is just a treat..seeing Helen in the middle of all these dancers listening to the vibrations and the sound is just wonderful..extraordinary.The music and the dance gives tears to my eyes...

Gladys Swarthout sang for Miss Keller and what joy brought to this extraordinary human being.

Beautiful ....what a remarkable woman ...and what a kindness from Martha Graham

Really wonderful memories dear Heler.... May God rests her spirit.

Truly amazing... What an amazing woman. I really loved this one too Helen. These video's are a blessing to watch. LOVE and THANKS, Patty

I love these videos sooo amazing,she soo lived her life to the fullest,just Beautiful!!!

Martha Graham with Helen Keller was absolutely wonderful. She was so patient and kind and courteous with Helen both ladies are such absolutely amazing wonen. This was a blessing for me to watch.

Thanks for sharing this very interesting & touching video on how Helen enjoyed the arts...Her indomitable spirit is wonderful & inspiring!

A wonderful video and a splendid dedication to our wonderful friend Mayan. I am happy that she came back and I'm sure that she will enjoy this fantastic piece of history and art. Congratulations my dear Helen for your beautiful video. Warm hugs and all the best to both, Anca

Thanks for the warm comment... I'm so glad you enjoyed the little video. Best wishes!

Oh - this was so very wonderful! What an amazing woman Helen Keller was. I just love seeing the way she enjoys music & dance - so interesting & moving! And how sweet to do this for our dearest friend Mayan! Another amazing & wonderful person. Thanks so much Helen for this awesome vid. Much luvs :-)

The dancers and their clothes look incredibly modern. One of them could step out of the video into a modern dance studio and you'd think nothing of it.

Nah most of what we call "modern" is just recycled versions of what the past had.

I've had an intimation of Helen Keller's ecstasy, because four times a year, Paula Byrne at Portland, Oregon's Soma Space studio, facilitates a blindfolded trance dance. During hours of dancing blind, our other senses become heightened. We feel the dancers by the breeze their bodies make, and we know how close they are by the vibrations of their feet on the floor, so I understand the pure joy in this video.

Extraordinary footage yet again. Thank you, dear Helene, for sourcing and sharing these treasures with us all. She always had so much joy and appreciation for things she could only barely experience (at least from our advantaged perspective). Jacques Jr.

Absolutely amazing. What a moving experience between two incredible women. I am so grateful this moment in time was preserved. Thanks for posting.

This is so cool!!! I was actually able to understand her when she said "That was beautiful". I think that today they probably could have taught her to talk better.

Most likely she continued to perfect the vibrations in her vocal chords, along with the lip movements necessary.

no so as if you can not hear words you can not learn to speak them.there is a dead actress name marlee matlin and she as well has never learned to speak properly.some do improve a bit but not to any great significance.an infants babble is the beginning of language and the baby can her itself and others around.if you never heard how would you know.

I am from india and I learnt about helen when I was 9 yrs old, she's my inspiration, thnks for the invaluable videos :)

The dancers were so gracious. I wonder how they felt being examined so minutely by a stranger.

Awesome! Always amazed how she lived full of life :)

Wonderful Helen! Really enjoyed it! Thanks for your work promoting Helen Keller and thanks.... for you! :)

Wow. I am absolutely speechless! Wonderful!

Que genial vídeo, dedicado a Mayan......creo Helen, que meteré este en favoritos......todo es un tributo hacia tan ejemplar mujer y señora...una sensibilidad maravillosa.....al igual que su vida y obra. Besos de tu amiga Ana Naranjita, desde Sevilla.

Spectacular, magnificent video from the visit to a Dance Studios...I really like the presentation at 2:00 But the entire film is amazing!இڿڰۣڿღ Thank you dear Helen for the up-load...Zuzanna

Such a fantastic footage.. I really love it thank you so much for posting this beautiful video.. much love ~Eleven

A Japanese Helen Keller truly respected and called him“my teacher.” In 1937, Helen Keller came to Japan and visited Hokiichi's memorial house. She expressed her impression as follows: “When I was a child, my mother told me that Mr. Hanawa should be my role model. To visit this place and touch his statue was the most significant event during this trip to Japan. The worn desk and the statue facing down earned more respect of him. ” Hokiichi became blind when he was 5 years old. One summer night, a wife of a Samurai, read a book for Hokiichi. She found that he had tied up his hands together. Asked why he did so, Hokiichi replied, “Whenever I move my hand to get mosquitoes away, I tend to miss words of your reading. So as not to do that, I did this.”. He always studied with an attitude like this.

Amazing video of an amazing woman...♥

Que vida exemplar!!!

Wow it feels like you'll never run out of footage for Helen Keller. Hope the ideas keep popping up.
