{"value"=>"<p>This series contains Andersen's stage directions, scripts, sketches, photographs, contact sheets, and notes on dance pieces, with material arranged by title. The series, dating from 1969 to 2001, is divided into two sub-series, the first of which includes warm-up and rehearsal exercises suited for a variety of skill levels. Though the exercises are undated, they likely originate from Andersen's work in Valley Dance Ensemble's modern dance school.</p> <p>The second sub-series holds material related to dance performances choreographed and directed by Andersen from her earliest concerts at USU, to her last with Valley Dance Ensemble. Andersen's notes detail her reactions to rehearsals, ideas for casting, responses to viewing her earlier productions of the piece, and stage directions. Portions of the notes are written in shorthand. These files generally consist of notes from multiple productions of a work, with photographs and costuming choices showing how Andersen refined directorial decision throughout her career. Her concerts with Valley Dance Ensemble represent the largest portion of the subseries. The files also show the range of dances she staged—from May O'Donnell works such as <span class=\"title\">Drift</span> and <span class=\"title\">Suspension</span> to Renaissance and historical pieces.</p>"}
