Goucher College Chosen to House Doris Humphrey Collection
and Doris Humphrey Foundation for DanceOn Thursday, February 7, 2008, dance artist Minos G. Nicolas, and Charles H. Woodford, son of American modern dance pioneer Doris Humphrey, donated to Goucher College the licensing rights to Humphrey’s works, as well as their memorabilia.
With this donation, Goucher College will have the largest collection of Humphrey’s materials in the United States and, through the newly created Doris Humphrey Foundation for Dance, will administer the performance and licensing rights to her works.
The memorabilia will be catalogued and placed in the Doris Humphrey Collection, which will be on display and available for research in the Goucher College Athenaeum in spring 2009. The collection will include costumes, recordings, sets, light plots, films, videos, original musical scores, and choreographic notes related to Humphrey’s various works.
Amanda Thom Woodson, chair of Goucher’s Dance department, will serve as the foundation’s director. Woodson and dance faculty members, including Professor Chrystelle Trump Bond, will serve on a review committee that will establish artistic standards of performance for Humphrey’s works and accept or reject requests to perform the works. Performance and licensing fees will be established by the donors and Woodson.
