Humphrey, Doris

(1895–1958) modern dancer, choreographer; born in Oak Park, Ill. A student and performer in the Denishaw Company in her early years, she formed a company in New York with Charles Weidman in 1927. She staged 83 works with her company—including The Pleasures of Counter-point (1932)—and taught at several performing arts high schools and colleges. After retiring from performance in 1943, she served as artistic director of the José Limon Company (1946–58). An innovative influence on modern dance, she was best known for her "fall and recovery" technique; she set forth her ideas in The Art of Making Dance (1959).
