Content Summary:
Photographs of Emmy Steinninger-Taussig (formerly Towsey) teaching Bodenwieser style classes and improvisation.
Immediate source of acquisition:
Following Gertrud Bodenwieser's death in 1959, papers documenting her extensive career as a dancer, choreographer and teacher were left in the custody of Marie Cuckson. Together with Emmy Towsey, Cuckson arranged and added to the collection, through donations of memoirs, costume designs and other material from Bodenwieser's friends and associates. In August 1998 the collection was donated to the Library by Cuckson and her daughter Barbara Cuckson. Part of this collection was also sent to the National Film and Sound Archive.
