Hi Well...There is no set strategy and there are no best practices at present for such stuff. In looking over your list very quickly, it's apparent that many titles are currently in distribution from extant distributors (eg Cunningham Dance, Blackwood, Dance Horizons, Creative Arts TV...). In these cases: you call the distributor up, and if they say a license isn't available, you're pretty much out of luck (unless you're UCLA, in which case you do any damn thing you want to do, and ask questions later).
If the item is not currently in distribution, and/or if the title is no longer commercially available, you talk to your laywer to see what his/her tolerance for risk is. There are some that feel that streamed delivery of such items to selected institutional clients may be allowable under Sections 107 and/or 108 of the copyright law.
