Lester Horton and several partners founded the Dance Theater, a modern dance company, in Hollywood, Calif., in 1946. Throughout Horton's career, he combined dance and drama into a total theatrical experience. He was intimately involved in creating all aspects of a production: the costumes, sets, lighting, and music as well as the scenarios and choreography. His fascination with ethnic dance, human sensuality, and cultural history was expressed in a prodigious body of work with themes ranging from the classics to melodrama, social concerns to farce. Horton's "choreodramas" were built on a movement technique that is still taught and used in dance schools and companies. The Dance Theater closed its doors in 1960.
