Note
  • Margaret Craske speaks with Antony Tudor about ballet technique, at Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, in Lee, Mass., on Aug. 29, 1951. A third person, probably Carol Lynn, identifies the speakers and topic, and occasionally asks questions.
  • Sound quality is fair. There is some distortion but for the most part the speakers' voices are easily intelligible. The recording is marred by a humming noise.
