{"value"=>"<p>Series I, dating from 1994 to 2004 and comprising the bulk of the collection, contains photographs and recordings of music and dance performances by Lotus instructors, guest artists, and students at organization events. The materials are arranged chronologically by performance date, with unidentified and undated performances listed at the end.</p> <p>When performances highlight a single dancer or art style, the titles are taken from the dancer or style's name. If the piece is a multicultural performance, titles typically refer to a common thematic element, such as the use of fans as props in Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Philippines, and Spanish dance (Fans in Dance), or are taken from ancient epics the performances are based on (the <span class=\"title\">Ramayana</span> and the <span class=\"title\">Maharadia Lawana</span>). Multicultural performance titles are broad and nonspecific in order to emphasize the variety of styles present in the production: Portrait in Dance is a showcase of solo dances from Burmese court dance, Chinese dance, Korean Zen dance, and flamenco.</p> <p>Of particular note are early script drafts, notes on choreography related to Lotus' production of the Ramayana, and edited video recordings broadcast on QPTV (Queens Public Television); Eagle Spirit rehearsals and performances; and recordings of over five years of performances at the annual Drums Along the Hudson festival.</p>"}
