A broad survey of musical theatre dance styles in film from 1935 to 1985 is used as background information for this creative project. Attention is paid to developments within the art form. The contributions of choreographers Busby Berkeley, Fred Astaire, Agnes de Mille, Gene Kelly, Michael Kidd, Bob Fosse, Jerome Robbins, and Michael Peters are discussed. A detailed description is included of the process involved in translating the film choreography to a stage performance. The film choreography was presented in a lecture demonstration format designed to give the audience a short synopsis of musical film history, then illustrate the information with a performed example.
