Scope and arrangement
The Bruce King papers hold correspondence, annotated scores, choreographic notes, book reviews, class notes, and other material documenting King's career as a dancer, choreographer, and teacher.
Correspondence includes a note to an archivist in San Francisco describing his memories of dancer Sulgwynn Quitzow, notes to friends describing his current projects, and a note from Helen Tamiris thanking him for a magazine. King's annotated scores do not indicate the particular dance they accompanied. Notes include entrances, exits, and cues such as "run" or "jump." There are limited choreographic notes which are similarly untitled.
A costume file holds instructions for knitting his dance tights. King's typescript book reviews are for creative dance books published in the 1970s. There is also a syllabus from the Henry Street Playhouse's 1951 survey history of dance. The file includes King's notes from attending these courses.
