The progremme consisted of solo dance accompanied by the poems of Dorothy Parker, Ogden Nahs, e.e. cummings, Federico García Lorca, Langton Hughes, Hilaire Belloc, Edna St. Vicent Millay, and others. Page performance her dance poems, speaking the words herself and dialoguing with them in dance, in New York and Chicago and a Jacob´s Pillow. She also toured extensively to smallersitied scattered thoughout the Midwest and South, aponsored by colleges and universities, as well as civic associations, independent producers, women´s clubs, and USOs. I argue that Page´s marriage of poetry and dance was not just a stopgap measure designed to keep her choreographic footing during the lean years when male dancers were enlisted. It was a delibetare strategy to position herself as a front-runner on tha American scene - an architect of the american ballet with a sensitive "vernacular ear" a worldview, and, crucially, a perspective sympathetic to the psyches of young women and children.
