bioghist
{"value"=>"<p>Ernestine Stodelle was born in Oakland, California, in 1912 and began her professional career as one of the original members of the Doris Humphrey - Charles Weidman Dance Company (1929-1935) and a partner to Jose Limon in the Little Group (1930-1935). For many years she directed her own studio, Ernestine Stodelle Studios of Dance, in New Haven, Darien, and Cheshire, Connecticut. A dance scholar and critic, Stodelle has published books on Doris Humphrey and Martha Graham, and has contributed feature stories and dance reviews for the New Haven Register. In 1999 she received the Congress on Research in Dance Award for Leadership in Dance Research.</p> <p>Sources: Sacred Dance Guild, Festival 2005 Afternoon Workshops http://www.sacreddanceguild.org/resource/ Congress on Research in Dance Awards http://www.cordance.org/Awards.html</p>"}
scopecontent
{"value"=>"<p>The Ernestine Stodelle Correspondence includes letters from Doris Humphrey, Jose Limon, Walter Terry, Ted Shawn and Charles Weidman covering the years 1945 to 1975. Several of the letters are acknowledgments and thanks for articles or other publications that Stodelle had written about the subject. Others include information that may be of interest to the researcher for the personal observations and opinions on current performances. The letters from Doris Humphrey have primarily a personal tone, and reveal her close and friendly relationship with Stodelle. Some of Charles Weidman's letters include photocopied clippings about his performances at the time with his comments and other news. This small, very select, collection of letters sheds very little light on Ernestine Stodelle's personal or professional career.</p>"}
