The Alwin Nikolais and Murray Louis Dance Collection documents the careers of two leaders in American Modern Dance. This collection presents promotional and performance photos documenting more than 200 choreographed works, and featuring dancers from companies that were active from the 1950s through the 1990s. The current level of description for these images is minimal. Many are lacking personal names, dates, details about the work, relevant descriptions of the movement, and valuable context specific to dance and performance which requires specialized knowledge to interpret. Help us communicate the importance of these documents by describing and/or interpreting meaning for the users of this digital collection.
