{"value"=>"<p>This sub-series contains materials from the early productions of Erdman's career, from her first steps as performer and choreographer until 1972, the year that marks the foundation of the Theater of the Open Eye. The majority of this sub-series consists of choreographer's notes from a significant number of Erdman's early works, as well as thoughts and ideas on the nature of many choreographed pieces. There are also technical stage directions, comprehensive plans where every aspect of a production can be seen at a glance. A significant part of this sub-series covers thoroughly Erdman's most famous work, The Coach with the Six Insides, with comprehensive research and production notes and correspondence on Erdman's thoughts, ideas and development of the work; numerous drafts from the various stages of the script's creation and use during performances and restagings of the show over time; as well as costume and set designs; audition and management materials; and light and slide projection directions. Materials sent to Erdman by colleagues for her comments can also be found here.</p>"}
