- Summary
- Streaming audio file (approximately 27 minutes). Walter Terry, as host, introduces Ted Shawn; Ted Shawn speaks about how he finds the very multiplicity of his many roles in the dance world (including dancer, choreographer, teacher, lecturer, and author) so rewarding; his love of all dance in its infinite varieties; how this inclusive approach has contributed to the ever more varied programs of the annual Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival; the creed of the Denishawn School [of Dancing]; his goal of nurturing all kinds of dance rather than a particular style; his view of dance education as the enabling of each student to fulfill his or her highest potential as an artist rather than to perform a specific technique; his disclaimer of having ever been a rebel (against ballet and other established dance forms) and his belief in evolution, not revolution; his approach as that of growth and expansion with innovation as a by-product rather than as a goal for its own sake; the fact that there will always be a rear guard and an avant-garde; his happiness at the enormous growth of dance as an art form in the United States; the program and size of the first Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival as contrasted with the Festival today; Terry's closing remarks.
