Files on Eleanor King, 1940-1999
|
|
This series consists of a small amount of clippings, correspondence,
programs, and promotional material related to Eleanor King. The newspaper
and magazine clippings encompass performance reviews, an obituary, and
articles about King’s distinctive choreographic style. The programs and
promotional material document events at which Eleanor King or other modern
dancers performed her choreographed works. Programs for the Eleanor King
Retrospective Dance Concert (1988) and the 14th Annual Governors Awards
(1987), at which King was honored, are especially notable. The
correspondence includes letters from Myra Ellen Jenkins, John Martin, and
Genevieve Oswald to Andrea Seidel about restaging, performing, and
videotaping King’s works, as well as a letter from Lynn Garafola to Nicole
Plett regarding King’s performance in the Rite of
Spring in New York City. This series also includes a copy of
King’s article “Indian Dance in the Northwest” (Dance
Observer, 1945) as well as her curriculum vitae. |
