About
Doris Batcheller Humphrey was born in Oak Park, Illinois. She was an American dancer and choreographer of the early twentieth century. Her choreography explored the nuances of the human body's responses to gravity, embodied in her principle of "fall and recovery". Her choreography from these early years includes Water Study, Life of the Bee, Two Ecstatic Themes and The Shakers. In the mid-1930s Humphrey created the New Dance Trilogy, a triptych comprising With My Red Fires, New Dance and the now-lost Theater Piece.
