{"value"=>"<p>The Audio and Moving Image recordings consist largely of performance and rehearsal footage for the Martha Graham Dance Company. There are also recordings of classes and performances by the Martha Graham Dance Ensemble and the students at the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance.</p> <p>Some of the most unique material are the series of studio workshops and rehearsals from the 1980s during which Martha Graham was choreographing some of her last pieces including <span class=\"title\">Rite of Spring</span>, <span class=\"title\">Song</span>, and <span class=\"title\">Temptations of the Moon</span>. During these studio sessions, it is possible to witness Graham's choreography technique and the collaboration between herself and her company members. There are also a large number of recordings from the summer of 1985 during the dance school's summer intensive program. It was not usual for these classes to be recorded and they are a rare insight into the dance school program which features members of the Martha Graham Dance Company as the instructors.</p> <p>In addition to the rehearsal and performance recordings, there are also news broadcasts and interviews, as well as short promotional videos for the dance school and company. Some of these items also include the unedited footage for the broadcasts.</p>"}
