3.6B - Lester Horton, the Ailey School, and the difference between Modern and Contemporary

The History of Musical Theatre Podcast

This week I chatted Chima Olujie, Alvin Ailey school alum, founder of Horton Technique Australia, and a fellow nerd.

We talked about the difference between modern dance and contemporary, as well as many of the great modern dance pioneers; Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham, Merce Cunningham, Jose Limon, Katherine Dunham and, of course, Lester Horton.
