{"value"=>"<p>Joffrey's files contain a mix of administrative information, such as budgeting and operations documents; notes on ideas for future ballets; correspondence with other choreographers; and photographs, clippings, programs, and other materials retained in Joffrey's office.</p> <p>Administrative files contain budgets, New York Festival submissions, memos, correspondence, and grant information. Future ballet files contain correspondence and proposals from other choreographers and companies; and research materials, such as photographs, information on past productions, clippings, and notes. Many of the letters in these files are unsolicited proposals suggesting ballets and projects for Joffrey. <span class=\"title\">The Dybbuk</span>, <span class=\"title\">Bourrée Fantasque</span>, <span class=\"title\">La Boutique Fantasque</span>, <span class=\"title\">Les Biches</span>, and <span class=\"title\">The Rake's Progress</span> are among the ballets discussed in these files.</p> <p>Joffrey's dance notes observe specific dancers and parts of ballet performances, most notably <span class=\"title\">Petrouchka</span>. One notebook dating from the 1940s contains his work on dance notation.</p> <p>Logistical files contain repertoire lists, notes, schedules, scholarship information, and tour summaries. There are also some files on the Joffrey's 1982 tour, which contain notes, memos, and itineraries. Of note are Joffrey's notes on performances during 1982 performances in San Francisco.</p>"}
