MiamiOH OARS on 25 Apr 19The Jerome Robbins Dance Division of the New York Public Library is accepting applications for the fourth cohort of Dance Research Fellows, a program generously funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, the Louise Guthman Estate, and the Committee for the Dance Division. The Jerome Robbins Dance Division of The New York Public Library is the largest and most comprehensive archive in the world devoted to the documentation of Dance. Chronicling the art of Dance in all its forms, the division preserves the history of Dance by gathering diverse written, visual, and aural resources, and works to ensure the art form's continuity through active documentation and educational programs. In honor of the division's 75th anniversary year, each of the five curators who have overseen the collection during its history - Genevieve Oswald, Madeleine Nichols, Michelle Potter, Jan Schmidt and current curator Linda Murray - selected a particular collection within the division's holdings for one researcher to explore. A sixth collection was selected by members of the division's staff.
