Summary

Dance critic Anna Kisselgoff discusses dance preservation and choreographers' desire for preservation, with specific reference to Merce Cunningham and George Balanchine. Walter Terry discusses how universality allows a work to persevere, using Charles Weidman's "Lynchtown" and Balanchine works as examples. They both discuss balancing structural quality and expression in modern dance, using Lar Lubovitch's Marimba as an example; the strengths and weaknesses of emerging young choreographers in modern dance and ballet; the importance of models in developing new choreographers.
