Sponsored by the United States Office of Education Arts and Humanities Program and the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), the Developmental Conference on Dance was a multi-disciplinary, multi-year conference that brought together scholars, teachers, philosophers, and others to explore new frameworks for conceptualizing and teaching dance. Alma Hawkins, founder of the UCLA Dance Department, served as conference chair and project director. Through lectures, group discussion, demonstrations, and working groups, the participants explored the themes of creativity, music, movement, and philosophy as they related to teacher preparation and curriculum design. Selected proceedings of the conference were published in Dance: A Projection for the Future (1968). The collection contains typed transcripts of the conference proceedings, a small amount of correspondence, and the conference schedule. Digitized audio of the conference proceedings is available at http://catalog.nypl.org/record=b20878989~S1
