In honour of Doris Humphrey's centennial, which was celebrated worldwide in 1995, this issue explores her legacy to the world of dance and her place in history. The varied aspects of her work are covered including choreography, teaching approach, Labanotation scores, reconstruction/recreations, and composition. In order to convey a sense of movement into the next century, the articles are presented in "chronological" order, beginning with that of Ernestine Stodelle, who worked with Humphrey during the 1920's and ending with an examination of Mindlin's 1995 experience learning Humphrey's work from Stodelle.
Naomi Mindlin performed with several small modern dance companies before joining the José Limón Dance Company. She has taught at The University of the Arts and coached Ray Cook's reconstruction of Dawn in New York while Associate Director of Dance Conduit (Philadelphia, PA). Mindlin received a 1995 Pew Charitable Trusts Philadelphia Repertory Development Initiative grant for a project centered around her learning two seminal Doris Humphrey solos from Ernestine Stodelle.
