Notes

1. Researchers interested in Shawn as an individual artist or as a co-artist with Ruth St. Denis may find Denishawn, A Day at Jacobs Pillow and Dance of the Ages/On the Shore to be helpful resources. These films range from six to ten minutes in length; A Visit with Ted Shawn and Ruth St. Denis (also known as Ted Shawn and Ruth St. Denis) is thirty minutes in length.Google Scholar

3. There is a discrepancy between dates and names given on the videocassette and those given on the videocassette cover. For example, “Haikus” appears on the videocassette and “Haiku” on the back of the cover, and the recording of Journal (Opening Dance) is given as 1971 on the videocassette and as 1972 on the back of the videocassette cover.
