To preserve this historically significant master work, WHDT in connection with Paul Chambers is filming "Ozark Suite" and an archival copy of this master work is being presented to the New York Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center at the request of the Hanya Holm Foundation. The film will be part of the permanent dance collection and will be added to the Hanya Holm Dance Archive for public viewing and for dance research. The filming of "Ozark Suite" is generously sponsored by Norman and Elain Polsky.

The Lord has his timing! In light of Paul Chambers passing it is a wonderful irony that your company recreated the Ozark Suite for the Archives while he was still alive.Sandra L. Groeltz

This
concert included a special Hanya Holm piece not done for half a century,
"Ozark Suite." Holmes' choreography
was re-constructed by Paul Chambers and the piece was video taped as part
of the permanent dance collection at the New York Library for the Performing
Arts at Lincoln Center and will be added to the Hanya Holm Dance Archive
for public viewing and for dance research.
WHDT
would like to thank Paul Chambers for generously offering "Ozark
Suite" to the company. Mr. Chambers performed this work with the
Hanya Holm Company in 1957, 1958 and 1959. Paul is the only company
member remaining who has danced this historic work and WHDT is the
only dance company performing the work today.
Paul Chambers died September 29, 2005 at age 80 at his home in St. Joseph, Missouri. His death was unexpected. Paul is on the right in this photo taken during the Fall 2005 dance concert of Wylliams/Henry Danse Theatre, just a few weeks before his death. Here he is with longtime friend Dan DeMott (left) in the lobby of the Performing Arts Center just outside White Recital Hall on UMKC.
