Summary
  1. Unedited footage recorded for the documentary Limón: a life beyond words. Ernestine Stodelle, a dancer, teacher, and writer, recalls her association with José Limón, starting with their early years in the Humphrey-Weidman Company. She discusses her first impressions of Limón; performing with him in dances for the play Lysistrata; joining him, Letitia Ide, and Eleanor King to form the Little Group, which showcased their own choreography; collaborating with him on the piece Tango (which she recently revived); his personal and professional qualities; the formation of his own company, with Doris Humphrey as his artistic director; his lofty aims and depth of characterization; his works The traitor, A choreographic offering; the dancing of Louis Falco, a member of his company; his work The moor's pavane; his wife Pauline Lawrence and her multiple functions in the company; the issue (which she refutes) of antagonism between the Humphrey-Weidman and Martha Graham companies. The recording ends before the conclusion of the interview.
