Hi to all.

I'm a music history professor at the University of Illinois, specializing
in the works of John Cage.  In the first week of November, I am giving a
presentation on Cage's work with modern dancers for a conference.  One of
these dancers, Marian van Tuyl, created a dance to a Cage work and entitled
her dance, "Horror Dream."  In 1947/48, van Tuyl and Sidney Peterson made a
9-minute film of the same name (same dance/same music), trying to create a
genuine "collaboration" between film and dance.

I'd very much like to show part of this film at this conference.  However,
the Anthology Film Archives doesn't have a copy; the Filmmaker's
Cooperative doesn't have one; Canyon Cinema doesn't have one.  The NY
Public Library - Dance Division does have a copy, but it never leaves the
library.  I will try the Museum of Modern Art tomorrow, but am already
skeptical.

Does anyone with experience in these kinds of rare art films have any
suggestions as to where else I might look?  Please respond to me privately
(and ASAP!) at [log in to unmask]

Thanks very much!
