Publications, 1859-1991
|

The Publications series, which encompasses books, clippings, articles, and
promotional materials that date between 1859 and 1991, is organized by the
four formats. Among the books are volumes published by Ted Shawn and Ruth St. Denis, dance
manuals, biographies and histories, exhibition catalogs, and conference
proceedings. Many of these works contain exquisite reproductions of visual
materials related to dance. Two items, including a rare tour guide to India,
contain bookplates indicating that they were owned by Denishawn. Five of the
books are housed with the Kellinger Dance Collection. The remaining 20 items
have been relocated to the reference shelves of the Music Division’s
Performing Arts Reading Room (PARR) or can be requested at the PARR
circulation desk. The articles include several essays written by distinguished modern dancers
and cultural commentators. The newspaper clippings include items about
Martha Graham, Ruth St. Denis, and the Stuttgart Ballet. Promotional
materials consist of brochures of booking agents, as well as flyers and cards
used to advertise performances, workshops, and other dance events. These
items focus primarily on Martha Graham, Ruth St. Denis, Ted Shawn, and their
dance companies. |
