Day On Earth
(1947)

Choreography: Doris Humphrey
Music: Aaron Copeland

Doris Humphrey's most popular dance reaches into the heart of human experience: love, birth, loss, companionship, death, and continuation, and the meaning and solace of work.  Within a spare dance form, a man, his first love, wife, and child tell the poetic story.
