Historical Note
The New Dance Ensemble (NDE) was incorporated in Minneapolis,
Minnesota in September, 1981. Formed by Artistic Directors
Linda Shapiro and
Leigh Dillard, the mission of the modern dance repertory
was, according to promotional materials, to "employ a company of highly
trained, professional dancers and to commission works by nationally recognized
and locally prominent choreographers." Seed money was provided by grants from
Jerome and Northwest Area Foundations. "The aesthetic focus of the company
[was] based on the work of
Merce Cunningham and the Judson Church group of the 1960s"
as stated in materials found in the collection.
Also central to NDE's mission was the introduction of modern dance to
high school and grade school audiences. NDE provided lectures and
demonstrations at local schools in Minnesota. In addition, it created
"Danceablilty" workshops to explore movement for physically disabled
people.
Throughout the history of NDE, the company toured in Minnesota, Iowa,
Wisconsin, New York City, Washington D.C., and San Francisco. In May 1990,
Leigh Dillard resigned her position. In 1991, NDE changed direction to a
performance laboratory, and their name became New Dance Laboratory. The goal
was to invite choreographers for a period of time to experiment and develop new
material to perform, versus hiring them only for commissioned (already
"completed") works.
Due to the challenge of financially sustaining the creative endeavor,
The New Dance Ensemble / New Dance Laboratory ceased its operations on May 31,
1994.
Scope and Content Note
Throughout this finding aid, the abbreviation NDE represents New Dance
Ensemble. In addition, FY represents Fiscal Year.
The collection contains business records comprised of building leases,
insurance policies, clippings, promotional flyers, postcards, newspaper
advertisements, concert programs, contracts, schedules, and employee and artist
files; correspondence and memos; financial records comprised of ticket sales,
budgets, tax records, grants, and audit reports; audiovisual materials; and
photographs which document the work of the modern dance repertory. A small
amount of items in the collection is dated before and after the dates of
incorporation, largely reflecting work of Linda Shapiro, Co-founder of NDE.
