In this publication, we are highlighting Dr. Gladys Bailin through four audio interviews recorded in the fall of 2020 reflecting on her early training in New York City with modern dance legend Alwin Nikolais, her international career as a performer and choreographer, and her impact on the School of Dance at Ohio University.
In 2019, Dr. Bailin donated her collection of dance materials, titled “Gladys Bailin Papers,” to Ohio University Libraries documenting more than 50 years of her career in modern dance. Additionally, she established the Alwin Nikolais/Murray Louis/ Gladys Bailin Archive Fund to preserve those dance collections for the future generations of researchers.
