Announcing the release of the first installment of the Nikolais/Louis Oral History Project. The three interviews launched today – Coral Martindale Aubert, Joan Woodbury, and Lynn Levine Rico – are just the beginning. The full project features 18 oral history interviews conducted in person by Natasha Simon between 2015 and 2022 and covering the entire span of Nikolais’s career and legacy.
Check regularly for future releases of interviews with:
Phyllis Lamhut, Al Wunder, Jeanette Stoner, Ruth Grauert, Gerald Otte, Helen Kent Nicoll, Carolyn Carlson, Peggy Barclay-Chambers, Marcia Wardell Kelly, Gladys Bailin, Mimi Garrard, Jim Van Abbema, Karen Carreras-Hubbard, George Gracey, and Alberto del Saz.
The Nikolais / Louis Foundation for Dance actively promotes the performance of both Alwin Nikolais and Murray Louis’s choreographies by professional companies and dance students around the world.
The licensing of these works range from full productions to single masterworks. The Nikolais/Louis Foundation will work directly with potential licenses to set and stage the repertory custom to the performers executing the work.
The repertory is taught and coached by Alberto del Saz artistic director of the Foundation to provide authentic replication of the work as well as artistic excellence.
