Scope and Contents note

From the Series:

The audiovisual materials include Betacam tapes, reel-to-reel tapes, VHS tapes, and UMatic tapes. The majority of these tapes are related to the preservation of Humphrey’s dance technique. Ernestine Stodelle, who danced with Humphrey and Weidman, is coaching the technique to contemporary dancers. Many productions are reprisals of Humphrey originals, in rehearsal with leading Humphrey technique teacher and practitioner Gail Corbin. Some of the choreographies of Humphrey’s that are reflected in these materials are: “Air for the G String,” “The Call/Breath of Fire,” “The Shakers,” “Two Ecstatic Themes,” and “Water Study.” A collection of transcription notes by Amy Reusch.
