The Doris Humphrey Society was established in 1989 as a non-profit organization supported by individual contributions and grants from the Oak Park Area Arts Council and The Illinois Humanities Council. Its purpose is to serve as a source of information for those interested in the choreography and life of Doris Humphrey, and to provide educational programs such as workshops, seminars and performances. Future funding will also be directed toward the reconstruction of choreography and archival preservation.
