Water Study - The Doris Humphrey Legacy

Choreography by Doris Humphrey
Performed in silence
Performed by Doris Humphrey Workshop Dancers
Analysis & Coaching by Ernestine Stodelle

Water Study is one of the first works Humphrey composed as an independent choreographer. Imagisctally conceived, Water Study conjures up a variety of sea moods from calm to turbulent. Performed in silence, the dance calls for subtle yet complex ensemble work: completely synchronized rhythmic timing between the dancers.

Produced by The Doris Humphrey Society with a grant from The National Initiative for the Preservation of American Dance, underwritten by the Pew Charitable Trusts and administered at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
