Alwin Nikolais
was a premier famous choreographer
. . . he received accolades from the world of arts, five honorary doctorate degrees and on and on . . . just a taste:
Nikolais employed lights, slides, electronic music, and stage props to create environments through which dancers moved and, more important, into which they blended . . .
as this poster clearly demonstrates
In 1987, Nikolais was awarded the
National Medal of Arts
, bestowed by President
Ronald Reagan
, and the
Kennedy Center Honors
. . .
