The cover of the February 1971 issue of Dance Magazine. A black and white image captures Murray Louis in a deep plié, leaning forward so his head rests in the lap of Phyllis Lamhut. Lamhut is perched on Louis' thigh, arching to the side so she wraps over his back, one arm curving overhead while the other is secure around his waist. They wear matching sleeveless unitards with a net pattern.

TBT: Alwin Nikolais and Murray Louis on What Makes a Compelling Dancer

Courtney Escoyne

Five male dancers and five female dancers perform in two clusters on either side of a purple-lit stage. The male dancers, bare-chested and costumed in white pants, face an upstage diagonal, left arms raised on a high diagonal as they look offstage. The female dancers, dressed in flowing white blouses and pants, lift their arms overhead, palms upturned, as they raise a flexed foot by their calves. Their chins are upraised as they look toward the men.
