The bulk of video recordings in this series are of the "MainStage" concert series, productions by visiting companies performed in Schaeffer Theater. There are also recordings of the annual Festival Finale, in which students perform repertory pieces learned during the Festival, and the children of the Youth Arts Program perform their new creations. The faculty concert series, "Moving in the Moment," is also recorded each year and is represented here. Informal showings by national and international visiting artists, artists-in-residence, emerging choreographers, occasional workshops and classes are also represented.

From 1984 to 1999, events were recorded using the VHS format. In 2000, DVCPro large digital format was introduced, although most events were still recorded in VHS format. Both DVC Pro and mini-DVCam formats were used in 2001. The following year and in subsequent years, events have been recorded exclusively in the mini-DVCam format. Beginning in 2003, some "MainStage" concerts were recorded from two different vistas in the theater.
