Chicago Dance History Project
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 15 ม.ค. 2018
CDHP aims to honor the vast number of national and international dance artists with roots in the city; to surface lesser-known individuals, organizations, and venues that have anchored Chicago’s strong local dance community; and to link various collections of historical knowledge and traditions with present and future generations.
CDHP pursues three primary modes of research: in-depth, on-camera interviews with area dancers, choreographers, educators, advocates, and others associated with the form; recorded public events that facilitate collaborative explorations of specific historical topics; and partnerships with area institutions and individuals housing dance archives in order to connect disparate threads of knowledge maintained throughout the city.
These materials will serve as a public platform for establishing a body of original and collected research that examines how Chicago has shaped dance - and how, in turn, dance has shaped Chicago.

Thank you for preserving her history and her legacy. Paula Marie Seniors
Nice to see this. Lou is brilliant. Hubbard Street was breaking ground with Lou's vision in many many different ways before the large American dance companies caught on. His 40's is a master piece.
Margi!!!!! ❤

James (Jim) went with me to my high school prom in 1959 and we still keep in touch. A real down-to-earth guy!
Lovely Lucia .
All so true! I took class with Larry during my professional career and during Pages Nutcracker. Loved every minute :) Ha the cane and never make even one mistake...
I had and still have so much appreciation and respect for you and Larry. Miss you both!
I spent my entire childhood at Stone and Cameron School of Ballet on Randolph and Wells. Ruth Page was in my Wednesday night class and I thought about this a great deal - more than likely she was in her early 50s.
Fantastic, James!!!

Ms Geraldine Williams was great at teaching!!! She was my mentor everything she taught me I can’t and I love to dance. Your a Queen
