The materials in the Franziska Boas collection were acquired by the Library of Congress in 1991 through a gift made by Gertrud Michelson, daughter of Franziska Boas. The Collection consists of labanotation scores and other choreographic notes, personal correspondence, business records, playbills and production materials, films, videotapes, sound recordings, artwork, and other career related and personal items. Additional items include manuscripts and other writings by Franziska Boas and others, including her father, anthropologist Franz Boas. The gifts of paper and print materials are held by the Music Division. The Collection's audiovisual materials are housed in the Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division. Prior to the gift, Gertrud Michelson served as the custodian of the Collection.
Certain restrictions as to the use or copying of the materials in this collection may apply. Consult a Reference Librarian in the Music Division for further information.
Franziska Marie Boas (b. 8 Jan. 1902; d. 22 Dec. 1988), pioneering dancer, percussionist, teacher, ethnologist, and therapist, was born in New York City, the youngest of six children of noted anthropologist Franz Boas (1858-1942) and Marie Krackowizer. Like her father who was known for his commitment to social activism and his battle to rid the scientific community of racially based theories of intelligence, Franziska Boas was also a committed activist for racial equality and social justice. She worked to teach young people about the value of dance as a means of communication; she pioneered dance as therapy; she encouraged students to expand their own creativity through improvisation; she combined the study of dance with ethnology; and she broke down the racial barriers that stood in the way of almost all African-Americans wishing to pursue careers in dance.
Franziska Boas was educated in public schools in Englewood, N.J., and in 1923 received a B.A. degree in Zoology and Chemistry from Barnard College. Undergraduate studies included dance with Bird Larson, with whom she continued to study from time to time after graduation. Other formal study included drawing and sculpture with Robert Laurent and Boardman Robinson, at the Art Students League in New York from 1923 to 1924, and in Breslau, Germany in 1927. Dance studies included working with Mary Wigman in Germany and with Hanya Holm in New York where she served as Holm's assistant and percussionist until 1933. In 1928, Boas married Nicholas Michelson, a doctor. They had one child, Gertrud Marie Michelson (Trudel), who was born June 16, 1929. They were divorced in 1942.
In 1933 Boas founded and directed the Boas School of Dance at 323 W. 21st Street in New York. It was an interracial school with a performing company which Boas directed from it's founding until 1949. Among her many notable pupils were Ed Bates, Valerie Bettis, John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Norman Coker, Katherine Dunham, Claude Merchant and Alwin Nikolais. In 1944 she founded the Boas Summer School of Dance on Lake George in Bolton Landing, NY. Also an interracial school, it continued under her direction until 1950. Besides teaching in her own schools, she also taught at the Walden School in New York, Bennington College, Mills College, Columbia University Teachers College, The Horace Mann School, Bank Street College, Bryn Mawr College, Colorado State Teachers College and The Savage School for Physical Education. The thrust of Boas' teaching, which sought to provide social integration through dance and other artistic endeavors, was taken even further through her work with schizophrenic children at Bellevue Hospital in New York. There, while working with psychiatrist Lauretta Bender, Boas pioneered the use of dance movement in the therapeutic treatment of profoundly disturbed patients. Work at Bellevue continued throughout the 1940s, all of which she did as a volunteer.
In the early 1940s Boas created the first Western all-percussion orchestra. From 1947 to 1949 she toured the U.S. giving dance performances, lecture-demonstrations in dance, percussion performances. During this period Boas also continued to explore and study dance therapy at numerous institutions: the Menninger Institute, U.C.L.A., the Langley Porter Institute, Anna Halprin Studio, Stanford University, University of Wisconsin, University of Washington, Wayne State University, Veterans Administration Hospital, North Texas State College, Indiana University, Art Students League in New York, Bolton Music Festival, Scripps College, Fresno State Teachers College, Lake Erie College, the New School for Social Research and various meetings of the American Association for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation (AAHPER).
At North Texas State she presented the following program which includes many of the choreographic works she created during these years:
Three other choreographic titles from this period are known: "Soliloque", "March", and "Duet". "Duet" was performed at the Boas School in New York with her daughter, Trudel.
Franziska Boas' writings include two groundbreaking articles on dance as therapy: "Creative Dance as Therapy" in the American Journal of Orthopsychiatry and "Psychological Aspects in the Practice and Teaching of Dancing" in the Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism. Both were published in 1941. Probably her most noted work, particularly among dance ethnologists, was an edited volume from the seminar series The Function of Dance in Human Society. This was based on a series of seminars that took place at her studio in 1942 and was published in 1944. Participants included Franz Boas, Harold Courlander, Claire Holt, Gregory Bateson, George Herzog, Cora DeBois, and Geoffrey Gorer.
In 1950, personal and economic setbacks forced Boas to leave New York and take a position at Shorter College in Rome, Georgia, as Head of the Dance and Physical Education Department. In 1957, the department became the Dance Department, Division of Fine Arts. Boas remained there until 1965. Between 1950 and 1959, she was very active in the Southern Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation (SAHPER), and in 1955 she organized the Georgia Dance Association. Within the curriculum at Shorter, Boas introduced the concept of culture in her dance history classes, clearly going beyond the contemporaneously accepted historical perspectives on dance. During this time she was also a member of the Georgia Council on Human Relations and a founding member of the Rome (Ga.) Council on Human Relations, an organization devoted to advancing the cause of integration.
In 1965 Boas took an early retirement from Shorter College and moved to Sandisfield, Mass., where she was active in the Sandisfield Arts Council and taught dance at the Sandisfield Town Hall to community residents. In 1986 Boas attended the Hunt-Boas family reunion in Alert Bay, British Columbia. It celebrated the meeting of Franz Boas and the Kwakuitl Indian informant, George Hunt. All living descendants of both men attended and, at 84, Franziska Boas was the oldest attendee.
Despite suffering from Alzheimer's disease during the last four years of her life, Franziska Boas remained active--still dancing in the fall of her last year--until her death on December 22, 1988. She is survived by her daughter Gertrud Marie Michelson and three granddaughters, Valerie, Carol, and Cindy Pinsky. A memorial service was held at Barnard College in New York on April 30, 1989. Franziska Boas, though not a well-known dancer or choreographer, as are Martha Graham, Charles Weidman and other contemporaries, is known for the way in which she combined her dance talents with wide-ranging social and professional concerns, creating and defining many of the sub-fields of dance that are studied today. An obituary written by her granddaughter Valerie Pinsky states: "She will be remembered as a woman of extraordinary grace and vitality, whose life could not have been more rich, and whose sense of humor was never lost."
The Franziska Boas collection is an extensive collection of multi-format materials documenting the professional and personal life of Franziska Boas. The collection spans Boas' career, from her academic training at Barnard College through her professional work as a dance teacher, accompanist, therapist and ethnologist, and includes documentation of her work as a social activist and as a community educator after her retirement.
The collection consists of choreographic scores, music manuscripts and printed music, personal and general correspondence, business files, personal files, writings and research by and about Boas, clippings, iconography, miscellaneous items, and audio-visual materials. Please note: the contents list is not an index.
The choreographic scores include original labanotation scores of both Boas choreography and unidentified choreography, as well as printed scores of works by others. Many of the scores are in fragile condition; check with a reference librarian to determine the status of their condition.
The music series consists of music manuscripts for works by Franziska Boas and others, some with accompanying movement notation. The series also includes original scores by others for Boas choreography and untitled works as well. Printed music is also included in this series.
The correspondence series consists of drafts and copies of letters to Boas, divided between personal and subject correspondence with subseries defined. The arrangement is alphabetical. Significant correspondents have been listed by name.
The business files are arranged by subject and include a variety of materials: information relating to professional associations; teaching and other school files; Boas Dance Group business records; calendars and datebooks; card files; programs, arranged alphabetically; publicity files; other school-related roll books and record book. Shorter College materials include Shorter College Dance Club programs arranged by date, yearbooks, and other material related to performance programs all arranged by date.
The personal files are arranged by subject and include information specifically relating to Franz Boas, financial and legal documents, records relating to livestock and animals Boas raised during her retirement, a manuscript of Nicolas Michelson's book, and Boas' college yearbooks.
The writings and research series consists of manuscripts for articles by Boas and others; manuscript and material relating to the Boas publication The Function of Dance; dance-related books; notes for classes by Boas; printed publications by Boas and others; writings on dance therapy and children; miscellaneous notes for articles, choreography and demonstrations; notes on the history of dance and the history of theatre; magazine clippings; and selected reprints of journal articles.
The iconography in the collection includes photos, slides and negatives arranged by subject; a variety of artwork by Boas; oversized iconographic materials; and iconography specifically relating to the Shorter College Dance Club.
The series of miscellaneous materials consists of greeting cards, photostats of movement drawings, items relating to animals, a scrapbook and other miscellany.
The audio-visual materials in the collection include audio recording tapes by Boas and others, and films documenting the choreography of Boas, Shorter College performances, as well as rare footage of unstaged Kwakuitl Indian dance performance. All audio-visual materials are located in the Motion Picture, Broadcasting, and Recorded Sound Division (MBRS) of the Library of Congress and are subject to that Division's policies for use and reproduction.
Binders, covers, frames, and other supports have been removed from most items because of their condition. Any identification they contained has been noted. Wherever possible, the original order of the materials has been maintained.
