JOSÉ LIMÓN: NYPL Dance Research Fellowship — DEADLINE TO APPLY IS TOMORROW, MAY 15!
Mexican-American dance artist José Limón was one of the defining figures in modern dance in the 20th century. Known for a rich and complex repertory that explored issues of immigration, race and gender, Limón leveraged dance to unify communities through shared human experience. His pacifist and anti-war masterwork Missa Brevis stands as a testament to the power of dance to heal. In his long career he performed as a star dancer for Doris Humphrey, developed an eponymous dance technique that is still taught today, served in the army during World War II, helped to develop modern dance in Mexico, headed the short-lived American Dance Theatre with Donald McKayle and Anna Sokolow in 1964 and 1965, and was a cultural ambassador for the U.S. via the State Department’s program in the 1950s and 1960s. At the time of his death in 1972 he had choreographed over 74 works including _The Moor’s Pavane, Psalm, Danzas Mexicanas, Tonantzintl_an and The Traitor.
American modern dance artists were among the first to entrust their collections to the Jerome Robbins Dance Division and Limón’s relationship with the Library dates back to the 1940s. As the Limón Dance Company celebrates its 80th year, we now invite applications for the Dance Research Fellowship from dance scholars and practitioners interested in exploring the rich legacy of José Limón.
We welcome both written and performative responses to research. Fellows receive a $10,000 stipend, dedicated support from a dance librarian as they work in the archive, and an opportunity to present their projects at our annual Dance Symposium in January 2027. The research period is July 1–December 31, 2026.
