Dunham's Data: Katherine Dunham and Digital Methods for Dance Historical Inquiry, Everyday Itinerary, 1950-1953

Dunham's Data is a three year project (2018-2021) funded by the United Kingdom Arts and Humanities Research Council, under the direction of Kate Elswit (Principle Investigator (PI), University of London, Royal Central School of Speech and Drama) and Harmony Bench (Clinical Investigator (CI), Ohio State University). The project explores the kinds of questions and problems that make the analysis and visualization of data meaningful for dance history. It does so through the case study of choreographer Katherine Dunham, cataloging a daily itinerary of Dunham's touring and travel (including country, city, hotel, and venue, whenever possible) from the 1930s-60s, the dancers, drummers, and singers in her employ during that time, and the repertory they performed. The datasets included with this collection represent the years 1950-1953.

邓汉姆数据集是一项为期三年的研究项目（2018-2021年），由英国艺术与人文研究委员会资助，并由伦敦大学皇家中央演讲与戏剧学院凯特·埃尔维特（项目首席研究员）和俄亥俄州立大学哈里森·本奇（临床研究员）共同指导。该项目旨在探讨那些使数据分析与可视化对舞蹈历史研究具有意义的问题与课题。通过舞蹈编导凯瑟琳·邓汉姆的案例研究，项目对邓汉姆自20世纪30年代至60年代的日常巡演和旅行日程（包括国家、城市、酒店和场所，尽可能详尽）进行了编目，记录了彼时受雇于她的舞者、鼓手和歌手，以及他们所表演的剧目。本数据集收录的资料涵盖了1950年至1953年间的数据。
