Scope and Contents

From the Record Group:

The Dixie Durr papers contain dance and theater records dating from the 1950s up to the mid-2000s. Her academic materials contain information about the dance curriculum such as when specific dance classes were offered and what they involved. There are also materials about the transformation of the dance major and its stages as a major, minor, specialization, and eventual merger with the Department of Theater.

Records of dance workshops in which Dixie Durr's students participated are found in this collection. There are over a dozen companies from across the country that Durr was able to bring to MSU's campus throughout the last 30 years, as well as workshops that students were able to travel to out of state. The materials of MSU's own company, the Repertory Dance Company, can also be found here.

A large assortment of photographs and slides from the last 50 years include individual portraits of student dancers, posed group pictures, rehearsal shots, and both dance and theater performances.

All of the materials regarding performances are organized by title and include any relevant correspondence, newspaper clippings, show programs, or rehearsal notes. Programs from the dance department and the Wharton Center for the Performing Arts are also included.
