Includes such traditional paper files as correspondence, reports, newsclippings, programs, and flyers, as well as visual and oversize materials in the form of pictorial dance scores, posters, scrapbooks, videos, slides, photos and music scores and a large audio cassette collection. Covers a wide variety of topics ranging from the life of Anna Halprin to her innovations in dance, teaching and choreography. The histories of her association with the Welland Lathrop Studio from 1948-1955 and of the foundation and development of her own studio, the San Francisco Dancers' Workshop, are also well-documented in the collection. Her integration of therapeutic techniques with dance are documented in reports on the workshop process, as well as in materials on her work with cancer and AIDS patients. The papers also cover her collaborative work with musicians, architects, actors, and artists, as well as with her daughters, Daria Halprin-Khalighi and Rana Halprin Vassau, and her husband, Lawrence Halprin. Workshop documentation also provides insight into the work of colleagues Allan Stinson, Jasmine Nash, Norma Leistiko, Soto Hoffman, Jamie McHugh, and Jim Nixon, and of students Trisha Brown and Yvonne Rainer.
