DOCUMENTING DANCE TRADITIONS AND INDIVIDUAL ARTISTS WITH EMPHASIS ON EAST ASIA

Elisabeth Miller Dance Collection and The New York Public Library Genevieve Oswald at

The Dance Collection is the largest and most comprehensive archive in the world devoted to documenting the art of dance. It is a division of the Re­ search Libraries of the New York Public Library, and is located at Lincoln Center. A fact sheet on Its public service appears at the end of this article.

The scope of the Collection is broad. Every type of dance is documented: , modern, social, folk, and ethnic. Due to the Collection's experience in archival development, it was awarded two grants by the JDR 3rd Fund to de­ velop the first archive of materials on Asian dance and dance-theatre, an archive created to serve an international body of scholars, researchers, critics, choreographers, dancers, and students.

The development of the Asian archive followed the basic philosophy of the Collection, and I will discuss later the East Asian materials represented, but first, how does one document this elusive srt? Dance lives at once in time and space, but time passes - indeed passes as soon as the curtain falls or the performance ends. What are the materials, how do we assemble them? How do we create the records that can transmit the great performances, the dance of today?

From its beginning in 1965, the Collection has had to innovate and expand the usual concepts of collecting, and has assembled every type of material which can tell about dance: clippings, reviews, programs, books, periodical articles, films, videotapes, drawings and prints, posters, scrspbooks, scenic snd costume designs, orsl tapes, photographs, diaries, manuscripts, and letters. To further preserve the choreography and its performance, the Collection has found it necessary to produce film records, where no records existed before. With special funding, the Collection has recorded over 300 works in the repertoires of America's major companies. For as far as dance is concerned,

- 52 - with printed literature we are still talking about externals, but with film snd videotape we are able to provide the researcher and artist with s facility that those working in the fields of music snd drama have taken for granted for centuries, the ability to study the repertoire of their art.

The Asian dance archive, although on a more modest scale, was developed accordingly. Multi-media materials, with an emphasis on film and videotape, were acquired from sources throughout the world. Original motion picture films and videotapes were made of forms not previously documented. These ma­ terials have been cataloged for inclusion in The Dictionary Catalog of the Dance Collection, the published bibliography of its holdings. The catalog unifies material, regardless of the medium, by author, subject, title, country, and type of dance. To give an example of the research value of the catalog, I have attached as an appendix two pages of citations under "." This ten- volume Catalog (published in 1974 by G.K. Hall and Co., 70 Lincoln Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02111) has been sold to universities, libraries, and institutions both in the and abroad. It has been updated with annual supplements in the same format, also published by G.K. Hall and Co., under the title Bibliographic Guide to Dance, for each year from 1975 through 1980. Owing to financial constraints, the continued publication of these annual supplements was in doubt at the time when this paper was completed.

The East Asian dance and dance-theatre traditions, in particular those of Japan, are well represented in the Collection, with over 300 hours of perfor­ mance on film and videotape, 165 manuscripts, 400 books and periodical articles, 250 photographs, and over 1,500 reviews, clippings, programs, and posters. In addition to the newly acquired materials, 3,200 manuscripts, sketchbooks, ink, watercolor and gouache drawings, picture scrolls, woodblock prints, books, and articles owned by the Library, but housed in the Spencer Collection, and the Oriental, Music, Theatre, Art, and social science divisions, were Indexed and cataloged for their dance values.

As it is a multi-media archive, it is possible to view on film and tape the changes which have occurred in the Kabukl, its acting style as well as the dramatic interpretation of the text, from 1925 to 1977. A study of the tech­ nique of Matsumoto Koshiro VII in the role of Lady Sarashina in MomiH-Gari with that of Onoe Kuroeman II, in performance of the same role, reveals these changes as well as the difference between the Ichikawa and Onoe schools of acting. Further analysis of these legendary performers is provided with ex­ cerpts of Kuroeman in Kamugai Jinya and Koshiro in Kanjincho, filmed in 1940 in its entirety. The famed onnagata of the Kabukl stage are documented, Nakamura Utaemon VI in an excerpt from Musume Dojoji and Onoe Baiko VII in the full-length film of Sukeroku, acquired through the courtesy of Faubion Bowers.

Artists of the Juitamai, the female classical dance counterpart of the Kabukl, are also represented, among them, Takehara Han in her premiere solo work, Yuki, snd Fujima Chikuyu in Hokushd. To further document the Juitamai tech­ nique, repertoire, make-up, and dressing, the Collection produced a two-hour videotape program on Suzusetsu and Suzushi Hanayagi, with commentary pro­ vided by Beate Gordon. The response to this program wss so great that it was aired twice on public television.

- 53 - The Illuminated eight-volume manuscript of tha Kadan Sho, the 17th-century teaching manual written by Zeami—or its translation—can be consulted to evaluate the performance of Kite Sadsyo in Hagoromo, or Kanze Hlsso in Ama snd the kuse section of Hanjo.

If one is not familiar with the Kabukl or Noh texts which the dance gestures intensify, it is possible to study the translations of these plsys by Ernest Fenollosa and Ezra Pound, Yukio Mishima, Donald Keene, and James Brandon, available for use in Japanese, English, Spanish, French, and Italian. The earliest Noh scroll in existence, the text of Matsukaze Muraaame, dated approximately 1520, can also be examined.

The picture scroll narrative of the Noh play, The Sumida River, written and illustrated in 1618 by the Noh actor Jlnemon Fukuo for his daughter; the Noh and Kyotten scenes drawn by the 18th-century actor of the Kanze school, Sesshin Fukuo; and the woodblock prints of scenes, drawn by Okumura Maaanobu in the early 18th century, bring to life—in an often humorous way—tha dance traditions and individual dancers being studied. So do the manuscripts, memoirs, and autobiographies of Hanayanagi ShtttarO, Onoe Kikugoro VI, and Mel Lan- fang, the foremost representative of the Peking Opera tradition, whose performances, unfortunately, were never recorded on film.

The printed literature1 written by so many illustrious scholars - almost too Innumerable to mention - gives us the technical manuals, biographical data, a history of the art through the recorded genealogies of the major acting families and their exponents. Did you know that there was a ballroom-dancing craze in in the 1950's?

What of the which preceded the refined and stylized forms of the Noh and Kabuki? From what sources did they develop and evolve? From the Kagura, the sacred Shinto dances of supplication. Due to the efforts of Professor Yasuji Honds and those of the NHK Center for the Preservation and Documentation of the Traditional Performing Arts, these ancient dances have been documented on film, for the benefit of the scholars of today and tomorrow. The pre­ cursor of the Noh. the Yamabushi kagura mai of Ama Kudari "Descent of God from Heaven" and Yama No Kami "Dance of the Mountain God," have been filmed. Predating the prototype of the Kabuki, the Onna Kabuki, are the Ayako mai from the Furyu repertoire of the 15th century. After ten years of research in the countryside, scholars finally located and recorded in the remote villages of Takaharada and Shimono, Nligata Prefecture, what they considered to be the true and pure forms of these ancient dances.

Notation manuscripts documenting the oldest extant dance tradition in the world, the Bugajcu, were acquired from the Library of the Imperial Household on microfilm, in 73 volumes written in the 13th, 16th and 17th centuries. We will be receiving the Left and Right Dance Notations, recorded in the 19th century, but as they are so heavily used by the Bugaku of today, it has been difficult to arrange a time when microfilming would not Interrupt their rehearsal schedule. These technical manuals are given color and weight, are robed and masked, when used in conjunction with the two volumes of gouache costume drawings presented by the Gagaku to Ted Shawn and Ruth St. Denis at the conclusion of their 1925-26 Asisn tour. They are the only hand-painted replicas in existence of the drawings housed in the Imperial Household Library.

- 54 - Preserving the Bugaku as a living art of movement in time and space are the films produced by the Shimonaka Memorial Foundation, records of, for example, the Bugaku left-side dance quartet of Manzairaku "Music of Ten Thousand Years," and Genjoraku "Music of the Return to the Palace," a right-side dance solo.

The work of choreographers working in what is termed syncretic dance styles such as ballet, modern and post-modern, is also well documented. Outstanding among these artists are: Suzushi and Suzusetsu Hanayagi, who work both in the classical Juitamai and traditions; Saeko Ichinohe; Akira Kasai; Aklko Kanda; Toshlko Okuda; Hyo Takahashi; Kei Takel; Shigeru Yokoi; the Grand Camelia Dance Company; Kimie Sasamoto; Kim Mae Ja; Al Huang; Lin Hwih- min - who, you may remember, concluded a very successful season last year at the Brooklyn Academy of Music; and of course, the work of Chiang Ch'lng and the China Ballet Troupe.

Although documentation of Japanese dance-drama predominates—possessing as it does, perhaps the richest and most diversified dance culture in the world— we do not want to give the impression that Korea and China have been neglected. The work of the National Classical Music Institute in the preservation of traditional Korean performing arts is represented. The films of Robert Garflas, for example, recorded at the Institute, of the Yi Dynasty court dances—a 500- year-old tradition—have been acquired, as have multi-media materials on the satirical masked dance, the tal ch'um. from Pongsan and Cholla-Do. The cele­ brated performances of Kim So-Hi and Kim Ji-Soo in the salp'url. improvisational dance, are available for study on film and videotape. P'anaori. the Korean operatic form, can be studied by itself, or comparatively, with the materials assembled on the Peking Opera. The vigorous "Dance of the Warriors" from the opera Mount Yentangahan, filmed in 1957, can be studied in conjunction with The Red Detachment of Women, or videotapes on the Shenyang Acrobatic Troupe.

At this stage in the archive's development, it can be said that the materials assembled offer a unique opportunity to scholars and performing artists. While university archives offer collections of greater depth for the study of indi­ vidual forms, few can supply the level of range of ^multi-media materials now represented.

An extensive resource file of scholars; specialists; film, videotape, and publishing companies; cultural, educational, and government officials; and choreographers and dancers has been created. Many have recognized the need to preserve and make possible an in-depth study of these traditions in the West; they have contributed substantially to our work, and continue to make recommendations.. A pattern of communications has emerged that will enable the Collection to keep informed of developments in the future.
