{"value"=>"<p>American dancer, writer, and teacher of tai chi, Sophia Delza (1903 - 1996) had an exceptionally long and varied career. Delza already had achieved a certain degree of prominence as an independent modern dance performer and choreographer by the mid-1940s. However, her entire career underwent a major shift in the years after 1948, as a result of her accompanying her husband, Cook Glassgold, on a diplomatic posting to Shanghai. Provided with a firsthand opportunity to study with master teachers of Chinese theatrical dancing and tai chi, Delza brought her newfound expertise back to the United States and embarked on a whole new second career as an authority on Chinese dance and martial arts traditions.</p> <p>Born Sophie Hurwitz, Delza grew up in Brooklyn, steeped in art and progressive politics, as a part of a large, extended family. Delza's other siblings included the future documentary filmmaker, Leo Hurwitz and a sister, Marie Briehl, who became a well-regarded psychoanalyst. It was another sister, Elizabeth Delza (who also went on to pursue a successful career in modern dance), who became Sophia's first dance teacher. Sophia continued this informal training with her sister while attending Hunter College, where she majored in science, but she also began appearing in programs at the Neighborhood Playhouse. After receiving her degree from Hunter in 1924, Delza began graduate work at Columbia University, but she continued to perform regularly. She eventually decided to go to Europe, spending the majority of her time in Paris, where she studied character and folk dance forms, as well as composition at the Dalcroze School.</p> <p>After returning to the United States, Delza confronted the limited opportunities for work as a professional dancer. She toured with the Doris Niles Company, but she also found employment in vaudeville, stage productions, and films. In 1928, she appeared in an edition of the <span class=\"title\">Grand Street Follies</span> with James Cagney as her dancing partner and the following year she was a featured dancer in the Provincetown Playhouse production of Fiesta. Delza gave her first, well-received solo recital at New York's Guild Theatre in 1930, which was followed by subsequent seasons. She also performed Spanish dance from the late 1920s to the late 1930s and received a grant to study folk dance forms in Mexico. By the early 1940s, Delza had developed her \"dance-monologue\" format and was creating complete scripts for her modern dance programs, which often incorporated spoken word.</p> <p>Following her husband to Shanghai (1948-1951), Delza became the first American dancer to teach modern dance technique in Chinese theater and dance schools. She also gave several concerts and lectures during her nearly four-year stay in China. Perhaps more importantly, during her residency abroad, Sophia was introduced to the ancient Chinese exercise form, t'ai chi ch'uan and studied with Ma Yueh-liang, a master practitioner of the Wu style. She also studied action dance roles in the classical Chinese theater with such leading artists and teachers as Wang Fu-Ying and Cheng Chuan-Chien. Upon her return to the United States, Delza began to present classical Chinese dance routines, usually in a lecture demonstration format. She gave numerous classes, lectures, and demonstrations on Chinese theater forms in New York and toured extensively throughout the United States and abroad. Concurrently, Delza became more involved with tai chi, giving what she believed to have been its first demonstration in the United States at the Museum of Modern Art in 1954. Thereafter, Delza became an important tai chi instructor and tireless advocate of the exercise art, opening her own studio in Carnegie Hall, teaching regular classes at the United Nations and the Actors Studio, as well as maintaining affiliations with several universities in the metropolitan New York area, and undertaking occasional residencies at institutions across the country. She also wrote extensively on the subject, publishing numerous articles, a record album, and three books on tai chi over the course of thirty-five years. Her final book, <span class=\"title\">The T'ai Chi Ch'uan Experience</span> was published shortly before her death in 1996.</p> <p>Sophia Delza shared an apartment at the Chelsea Hotel with her husband, Cook Glassgold (1899 - 1985) from the time of the couple's return from China in 1951 through 1985; she would remain at the Chelsea until the time of her own death. Glassgold enjoyed a career that was equally varied as that of his wife. Born in New York, Glassgold taught art at City College during the 1920s and in 1932 he became curator of painting at the Whitney Museum. From 1936 through 1941 he was an editor of the <span class=\"title\">Index of American Art</span> for the Works Progress Administration. He worked for the Federal Public Housing Administration during World War II. He later joined the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration in 1945 and was responsible for directing a camp for displaced persons in Landsberg, Germany. In 1948 he took a position in Shanghai with the American Joint Distribution Committee again helping relocate refugees. After returning to New York, Glassgold became the director of the Hotel Trades Council union, a position he held from 1953 until his retirement in 1975. Following his retirement, he volunteered at the American Museum of Natural History, where he worked on restoring a Chinese marriage chair. In his later years, Glassgold also returned to easel painting, enjoying several well-received one-person shows of his paintings in the years immediately preceding his death.</p>"}

{"value"=>"<p>The Sophia Delza Papers document the rich and varied career of this unique American dancer, writer, and tai chi teacher. The collection consists chiefly of correspondence, writings, programs, photographs, and original artwork. It covers her entire professional career to some degree, but most thoroughly documents the period from the 1950s to the early 1990s (the years in which she was most actively involved in promoting and teaching tai chi in the United States) through correspondence, programs, photographs, and writings. The collection contains less material relating to Delza's earlier work in modern dance, but does include programs, music scores, scripts and some dance notations for her \"dance-monologue\" concert pieces, dating from the late 1930s to the early 1940s; also included is one scrapbook that contains clippings of reviews and programs for her modern dance recitals. Although the strength of the collection lies in its documentation of Delza's professional career, her distinctive and vivid personality clearly emerges through the correspondence, journals and informal writings, and also is evident in her published writings. Also included are selected personal papers of her husband, Cook Glassgold, which Delza had retained after his death. A prolific visual artist in addition to her other talents, the collection contains numerous examples of Delza's original artwork. Most of the series contain at least some materials in a Chinese written language.</p> <p>Sources: <ul> <li>Dunning, Jennifer. \"Sophia Delza Glassgold, 92, Dancer and Teacher.\" <span class=\"title\">New York Times</span>, 1996 Jul. 7, 21.</li> <li>Fowler, Glenn Bobbi. \"A.

The dated copies of Delza's letters are most prevalent for the early 1960s (a period in which she was most actively touring and teaching in the United States and abroad). Delza's correspondents were numerous and varied, including many notable individuals from the literary, musical, and visual art communities, such as Ralph and Bena Mayer, Yehudi Menuhin, Christina Stead, and Leopold Stokowski. Frequent correspondents include friends living in China or with an interest in Chinese culture, including Edgar and Lois Snow and Sophia's tai chi teacher, Master Ma Yueh-liang. Correspondence with Delza family members has been filed in the Family papers sub-series. Letters between Sophia and her husband have been filed in the Cook Glassgold papers sub-series.</p></div></li><li><div class='series-title'><a href='/dan/19802#c393204'>Series III: Performance and publicity files, - and</a></div>\n<div class='series-date'>undated</div>\n<div class='series-extent'>7 boxes</div>\n<div class='series-description'><p>The Performance and publicity files series contains material that documents Sophia Delza's wide-ranging professional career as a performer in both Western and Chinese dance forms.
