/Dancer Eliot Feld and Choreographer Agnes de Mille
A group of experts — Diana Gonzalez-Duclert, Ted Chapin, Elena Zahlmann, and Diana Byer — who have all been closely involved with de Mille’s choreographic and written works, celebrate de Mille’s major contribution to American dance and its cultural heritage, and explore how these contributions are still relevant today in commemoration of the 30th anniversary of Agnes de Mille’s death in a live, online course presented by Roundtable at the 92nd Street Y.
Agnes de Mille was among the iconic subjects of photographer Jack Mitchell’s camera, as seen in the many photos of her by Mitchell ranging from the 1960s through the 1980s. Jack Mitchell (1925 – 2013) photographed artists, dancers, film and theatre performers, musicians and writers in more than 6,000 individual sessions. His work frequently appeared on the cover of major magazines as well as in newspapers.
