{"value"=>"<p>Series II.-<span class=\"title\">The Conferences On Creative Teaching of Dance To Children</span>(1954-1964) contain programs, agenda and schedules which provide additional information on participants and their biographies, flyers, promotional material, budgets and evaluations on the conferences, two newspaper clippings, memos, announcements, a manuscript and correspondences (mainly business). The correspondences are filed in chronological order with the incoming correspondence.</p> <p>This series is divided into conferences (1-10), correspondence, budgets and miscellaneous. It is of interest to note the wide variety of artists and educators who participated in these conferences: <span class=\"persname\">Margaret H'Doubler</span>, <span class=\"persname\">Mary Hinkson</span>, <span class=\"persname\">Lucas Hoving</span>, <span class=\"persname\">Doris Humphrey</span>, <span class=\"persname\">Anna Jooss</span>, <span class=\"persname\">Murray Louis</span>, <span class=\"persname\">Agnes de Mille</span>, <span class=\"persname\">Daniel Nagrin</span>, <span class=\"persname\">Jerome Robbins</span>, <span class=\"persname\">Bessie Schoenberg</span> and <span class=\"persname\">Glen Tetley</span>, just to name a few. Another point of interest is a manuscript pertaining to a panel discussion about <span class=\"persname\">Doris Humphrey</span> written by <span class=\"persname\">Walter Terry</span>. <span class=\"persname\">Mr. Terry</span> was the interviewer, the panel consists of <span class=\"persname\">Katherine Litz</span>, <span class=\"persname\">Edith Orcutt</span>, <span class=\"persname\">Nona Schurman</span> and <span class=\"persname\">Helen Tamiris</span>. This took place during the 6th conference.</p> <p>In the file dealing with the budgets there is a summary covering 1955-1960; it notes that the conferences had to be discontinued due to lack of funding and misappropriation of funds, not by <span class=\"persname\">Lucile Nathanson's</span> hands. The conferences were reinstated in 1963 but were discontinued after the 10th anniversary conference, 1964.</p>"}
