{"audience"=>"internal", "value"=>"<p>Series II contains material relating to Burton's study of dance and her career as a performer. It is arranged alphabetically by subject. Burton's academic studies, her performances, and her administrative work were interconnected and often informed each other. For example, the choreographic and research notes Burton collected in Indonesia contain her own notations and interpretations that later influenced her choreography for performances produced in the United States, like <span class=\"title\">Arabian Nights</span> and <span class=\"title\">The Ramayana</span>. Additionally, Burton wrote her dissertation on Claire Holt entitled <span class=\"title\">Sitting at the Feet of Gurus: The Life and Ethnography of Claire Holt</span>, but also did a performance piece that incorporated dance with spoken word derived from Holt's correspondence and writings.</p> <p>Files for <span class=\"title\">Sitting at the Feet of Gurus</span> hold incomplete drafts, primarily of the introduction and acknowledgments, correspondence regarding Burton's effort to have Holt included in the <span class=\"title\">American National Biography</span>, subject files, and photographs of Holt. The research files regarding Claire Holt are extensive and contain photocopies of primary documents obtained by Burton from various archives and from Holt's descendents. The date span for these files can be quite broad as they occasionally contain Burton's corresponding notes.</p> <p>The Tassilo Adam film project includes notes on the pre-and-post edits of the film as well as notes detailing the dissection process. Burton's Fulbright Grant application details the scope and goals of Burton's trip to Indonesia to screen and distribute the completed work. Also included are photographs taken by Adam that were collected by Burton.</p> <p>Choreographic and research notes reflect information collected by Burton in Indonesia and are rich with Javanese poetry and folk tales, dance and music notations, choreographic interpretations, and sketches of traditional costumes, masks, and staging. The earlier notebooks contain similar information. Later notebooks (1990-1997) regard coursework for Burton's doctorate in Performance Studies from New York University and are often interleaved with Burton's assignments and writing. Teaching materials include handouts, choreography, and thank you cards from Burton's Young Audience New York workshops.</p>"}
