Dance: Four Pioneers
- 1965 ----- b & w ----- 28 min ----- 16mm
- Introduces four major choreographers--Martha Graham, Doris Humphrey, Charles Weidman and Hanya Hohm--who revolted against the conventions of ballet to produce American modern dance. Examines their various views of the meaning dance should have within the arts by means of quotations from recorded speeches made at various times and through film clips and still photographs showing the dancers and their teachers during the beginning days at Bennington College in 1934. Closes with a production of Doris Humphrey's Passacaglia by the American Dance Theatre.
