- **Event Description**: Nancy Dalva explores Gus Solomons Jr.’s trajectory from dancer to choreographer with materials from the Jerome Robbins Dance Division.About this EventIn this month’s Dance Historian Is In, Nancy Dalva explores Gus Solomons Jr.’s life in dance with photos and video from the Jerome Robbins Dance Division archive. Solomons began his training in modern dance and ballet while studying architecture at MIT. Upon graduating he moved to New York City to dance, including an early stint with Martha Graham’s company, which he left to dance for Merce Cunningham from 1965 to 1968. Cunningham left a lasting influence on Solomons’ life-long choreography practice, which like Cunningham’s, was technology forward. The founder of The Solomons Company/Dance, as well as the fabulous collective of later career superstars called PARADIGM, Solomons also danced in the companies of Pearl Lang, Donald McKayle, Joyce Trisler, and Paul Sanasardo, he wrote highly perceptive dance criticism, taught generations of students at New York University, and served as a mentor to many. Join Merce Cunningham Trust Scholar-in-Residence Nancy Dalva as she explains why, as she says, “Everyone loved Gus.”For more than 10 years, The Dance Historian Is In at the Library for the Performing Arts has highlighted a diverse range of dancers and choreographers across history. This series began when archivist and historian David Vaughan started volunteering at the Jerome Robbins Dance Division. Vaughan began a monthly program showing his favorite dance films from the Division's extensive collection, through which he unearthed many treasures, and helped acquire even more. Vaughan continued the series until the end of his life. Today, we honor his memory and work by inviting dance historians from all over the world each month to carry on the tradition of highlighting dance history through the Dance Division's moving image collection.Photo Credit: Gus Solomons, Jr.  Photo by Guy and Elizabeth, 1967.
