Acknowledgments
The beginnings of this project can be traced back to the fall of 2005 when I was a student in Dr. David Cateforis’s Cubism Seminar. I was searching for an American cubist painting to research and Dr. Cateforis suggested H. Lyman Saÿen’s The Thundershower. I was immediately drawn to the two dancing figures and by the end of the semester I knew that this was a topic I wanted to continue exploring.
I am grateful for the support, advice, and enthusiasm of my dissertation adviser, Dr. Charles Eldredge, who encouraged me to fling my net wide as I considered my topic. Thank you for your careful reading, your insightful questions, and your dedication to scholarly excellence.
I wish to thank Dr. Cateforis for not only starting me off down this road but also for his invaluable help in the editing process. He and Dr. Eldredge have molded me into the scholar I am today. Dr. Michelle Heffner-Hayes served as a guiding support throughout this process. The directed reading course she developed with me in the spring of 2007 served as a foundation for the dance research I undertook during the course of this project. Her support during my oral defense was much needed and her understanding of dance scholarship strengthened this dissertation.
For serving on my defense committee, I wish to thank Dr. John Pultz, who imparted some of his vast knowledge of photography to me during my time at KU, and Dr. Linda Stone-Ferrier, who once called me a “model of dissertation writing” because she knew that my absence around campus meant I was buried in my books. I am grateful to Dr. David Lubin and the students of the Murphy Seminar for their contributions to chapter five. I also want to thank Maud Humphrey for her help in navigating the ins and outs of KU’s requirements.
