Summary
  1. 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.
