Ruth Page Talks About Choreography

[Mme. Hermine]

For the history buffs, from a 1979 documentary, as well as an ending scene at a party in her honor, with loads of dance luminaries; the quick glance one gets reveals Pauline Koner, Sono Osato and Helgi Tomasson, as I can see, I know that Melissa Hayden, Bill Como, Patty McBride, composer Jerome Moross and many, many others were there.

Oh this is fascinating -- do you have any idea where she is when she's sitting on that roof?

I loved her comment about a choreographer knowing what they're destined for from birth, that they are making dances from the start. It reminded me of Mark Morris, who claims he was making up dances in his parent's backyard when he was a small boy.

No, it's St. Tropez, she had a house there and went every summer.
