In honour of Doris Humphrey's centennial

which was celebrated worldwide in 1995, this issue explores her legacy to the world of dance and her place in history. The varied aspects of her work are covered including choreography, teaching approach, Labanotation scores, reconstruction/recreations, and composition.

In order to convey a sense of movement into the next century

the articles are presented in "chronological" order, beginning with that of Ernestine Stodelle, who worked with Humphrey during the 1920s and ending with an examination of Mindlin's 1995 experience learning Humphrey's work from Stodelle.
