  • "Unedited footage recorded for the documentary Limón: a life beyond words. Items from the collection of the José Limón Dance Foundation. Most of the footage depicts black-and-white still photographs, occasionally with camera movement. Dancer-choreographer José Limón is seen at different times of his life: in portraits; views of performances, rehearsals, and tours; and scenes from private life. There are also photographs in which he does not appear, portraying his family, members of his dance company, and other associates. Leaves from a family album, labeled by hand, depict him as a teenager and young man (often identified as "Pepe," his nickname). Also included in the footage are a page from a notebook, with stick figures illustrating movement descriptions; a color design for his dance work Tonantzintla, created in Mexico in 1951; an advertisement for his company; newspaper obituaries; a 1928 poster for Doris Humphrey and Charles Weidman's dance classes; and a color painting of Christ wearing the crown of thorns."
  • "Unedited footage recorded for the documentary Limón: a life beyond words. This tape contains performances of two dance works choreographed by José Limón, and documentation of still photographs of him and his company."
  • "Unedited footage recorded for the documentary Limón: a life beyond words. Melisa Nicolaides was still a child when she first danced with José Limón in Doris Humphrey's dance work Day on earth. She later performed in Limón's Ode to the dance, Scherzo, and (as a member of Juilliard Dance Theater) King's heart."
  • "Unedited footage recorded for the documentary Limón: a life beyond words. Documentation of still images, mostly photographs, from the collection of Daniel Lewis, a former member of the José Limón Dance Company. Most of the photographs are black-and-white; a series of color photographs begins at ca. 44 min. into the tape. The subjects and photographs are orally identified in a few instances. The footage also includes shots of José Limón's driver's license and his identification card as a faculty member of The Juilliard School. The photographs depict Limón at various stages of life, in performance, rehearsal, and private life. His dance partners and members of his dance company also appear. His parents are depicted in individual portraits and their wedding picture."
