Summary
A video recording compilation of performances and studio rehearsals for Denishawn solos. The dances performed include Incense, Serenata morisca, and Gnossiene. Martha Graham's Flute of krishna film transfer also appears. Recordings are not chronological and many of the stage performances are too distant to distinguish the dancer. There is also a lengthy studio day recorded with the camera focused on Martha Graham in front of the studio mirrors but very little dancing is captured and sound quality is poor. The final recording is a studio rehearsal with Jane Sherman teaching the Serenata morisca solo to Terese Capucilli and Joyce Herring.
