Correspondence, 1943-2002
|
|
Larry Warren corresponded with many notable figures in the dance world while
researching Modern Dance Pioneer. This subseries consists of that collected correspondence and includes
letters with those close to Horton during his lifetime, such as Frank Eng,
Elsie Martinez, Don Martin, and James Truitte. Letters from Agnes De Mille,
John Martin, and Ruth Page provide insight on the context of Horton's career
within the broader movement of modern dance. The only piece of correspondence
not directed to or from Warren is a letter from Horton in the "Miscellaneous"
folder. It was sent to Warren by its recipient, Katharine Stubergh. This
subseries also contains the original 1968 letter from composer Lou Harrison
that Warren reproduced in his book. |

Photographs, 1929-1973
|
|
Images of Horton's dance works as well as behind-the-scenes photographs and
portraits of Horton make up this subseries and document Horton's early
exploration of Native American dances through to the major works he created at
the Horton Dance Theater. Of the works represented here, only one was created
after Horton's death, Miss Salome. Horton revisited and reworked the story of Salome many times, and
this adaptation was likely created as part of a fundraising evening for the
Dance Theater. Most of the photographs in this series are reproduced in Modern Dance Pioneer. Titles refer to choreographic works. When known, photographers are
identified at the folder level. |
