The Judson Dance Theater in New York has historically been seen as the nucleus of this avant-garde activity, but there has been a significant push in recent years to consider Halprin and her circle as an important forerunner to it.

Across the 80 years she taught and performed internationally and led workshops on her outdoor dance deck at her home in Marin County, Halprin was a pacesetter for her early disowning of the modern dance world — both its technical approach and its production system, and her abandonment of the proscenium stage.

In addition to her decades of teaching and mentorship, Halprin developed a new technique that would become integral to the history of dance.

Survivors include two daughters, Daria Halprin of Kentfield, and Rana Halprin of Mill Valley; four grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.

It was also at Hillel that she met Lawrence Halprin, the son of Hadassah president Rose Halprin, and a graduate student in biology.

Instead, she enrolled at the University of Wisconsin at Madison in 1937, where she was rejected from the first rooming houses she applied to because she was Jewish.

Her paternal grandmother was Zionist leader.

Over time this led into psychological territory for herself as well as the performers.

About a year later, she left Hopper and returned to her hometown, San Francisco.
