{"value"=>"<p>This sub-series covers the second phase of Erdman's career as artistic director of the Theater of the Open Eye, from 1972 onwards. It is therefore a useful resource for not only her work, but the work of the entire Open Eye Company, which included dancers, actors, musicians, as well as Erdman's husband, Joseph Campbell, whose lectures and seminars were instrumental for the Theater's artistic cohesiveness. Materials that can be found in this sub-series include production notes and some comprehensive production books for certain shows; scripts and scores; research notes; costume and set designs; lighting plots and cues. Interesting highlights in this sub-series include detailed rehearsal notes for <span class=\"title\">The Shining House</span> (Box 21, folder 1), which illustrates the collaborative process that the company used in the production of a show, and several letters with comments by some of the dancers and other company members (Box 22, folder 8).</p>"}
