Modern Dance Family Tree

Based on the notes we took in class, create a family tree that shows how each
choreographer is connected. Some got married, some formed business
partnerships, and some were teachers or students. For the choreographers and
dancers you have (everyone in our notes), you must write one brief phrase
describing them. For example, we talked about Martha Graham, so you could
write invented the concept of contract and release. Feel free to include any
other shapes or written notes about how these choreographers/dancers are
connected.

In addition to the choreographers we discussed in class, you will also need to


include the following dancers/choreographers:

Alwin Nikolais
Anna Sokolow
Bill T. Jones
Erick Hawkins
Jos Limn
Katherine Dunham
Loie Fuller
Mark Morris
Mary Wigman
Paul Taylor
Steve Paxton
Trisha Brown
Twyla Tharp
Yvonne Rainer

Example:
