BUILDING CHILDREN’S PERSONALITIES WITH CREATIVE DANCING (1957)

Description: Gary Goldsmith - Co-Producer/Writer/Director/Editor Documentary of a group of children learning free-style creative dance, in the tradition of Isadora Duncan, as taught by Gertrude Copley Knight. Awkward and shy at first, the children gradually learn to sense the ‘bouncing ball ‘ in their bellies, and to feel the rhythms in the folk and classical records their teacher plays. From 5-year-old Dawn to 10 year-old Rod, they release their feelings in beautiful and joyful movement. 33 minutes 1957
