CDF Programs, 1987 - 1995

The Colorado Dance Festival Records Photograph Series was established as a working collection of photographs, intended for loaning to various news media for publicity and supporting previews, reviews and features. All of the artists and companies presented by the festival are represented. The collection is particularly rich in modern dance; skimpy in ballet and ethnic forms. The bulk of the photographs are eight inch by ten inch glossy prints though many of the images are duplicated in negative transparencies depending on the needs of various publications. There are numerous 35 mm. color slides as well. Duplicate prints have been weeded; negatives retained. Over 600 entries represent over 1,000 images. The collection includes publicity and production photographs submitted by individuals and dancers either for faculty/performer biographies for programs or as publicity for performances during the Colorado Dance Festival held in Boulder, Colorado. The collection also includes outreach and social events sponsored by the festival. Notable is a series of action stills featuring Blondell Cummings with Keith Terry; a rich variety of Eiko and Koma images as well as David Dorfman Dance. Not cataloged are the various snapshots of outreach activities, parties following openings and other social occasions.
