Page had costumes designed, and she rehearsed extensively. But she never performed the dances for a public audience. This footage of her rehearsing comes from the Newberry's Ann Barzel Dance Research Collection, and clips will be shown in the "Creating Shakespeare" exhibit open September 23 - December 31.plain2017-01-18T13:39:30-08:00publications.newberry.org/digital_exhibitions2017-01-13T18:02:05+00:002016-09-08T17:30:32.000ZchoreographdancedancingShakespeareNewberry Library09980eb76a145ec4f3814f3b9fb45f381b3d1f02
