In line with the thinking of Laurence Louppe calling for a reevaluation and problematisation of oral sources within a dance history framework, this paper sets out to examine the extensive archive of the Bennington Summer School of the Dance Oral History Project, conducted between 1978 and 1979 and housed today at Columbia University. By taking as a starting point the dancer's voice at the heart of the educational project conceived by Martha Hill and Mary Jo Shelly, a different dance history of the thirties begins to emerge, bringing to the fore the dancer's evolving experience that constitutes a true Bennington archive, set against the backdrop of the “Big Four” ultimately not part of the project.

舞蹈口述历史项目的本宁顿暑期学校，1978-1979：感性的历史

根据 Laurence Louppe 呼吁在舞蹈历史框架内重新评估和解决口述资料问题的想法，本文着手研究 1978 年至 1979 年间开展的本宁顿舞蹈口述历史项目暑期学校的大量档案，以及今天住在哥伦比亚大学。通过将舞者的声音作为 Martha Hill 和 Mary Jo Shelly 构思的教育项目的核心，开始出现不同的 30 年代舞蹈历史，将舞者的不断发展的经验带到了前台，构成了真正的 Bennington 档案，背景设定的“四大”最终不是项目的一部分。
