Book Description
The Isadora Duncan Dance Ensemble is a Miami-based dance troupe that endeavors to preserve and promote the repertoire of pioneering dancer Isadora Duncan (1878-1927). Duncan's style of rising and falling arcs, organic flow, and connectedness to nature were revolutionary in her time. Her choreography has been handed down through her daughters Anna and Irma Duncan to what is now the fifth generation of dancers performing her works. The film is narrated by and contains commentary from artistic director Andrea Mantell Seidel. Ten works from the period, including Schubert's Ave Maria, Chopin's Harp Etude (Opus 25, No. 1), and Gluck's Bacchanal (Iphigenia), are all well performed as each dancer contributes her own spirit and modern interpretation. Essential for dance history collections; highly recommended for dancers and dance enthusiasts.

Publisher: SelfMadeHero
ISBN: 9781910593691
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
A graphic biography of the pioneering, free-spirited "Mother of Modern Dance" In 1899, performing in the drawing rooms of London's elite, Isadora Duncan (1877-1927) was already laying the foundations for modern dance. Her performances were visceral, free-flowing, and expressive; she danced barefoot. The 22-year-old from California was shattering the conventions of traditional ballet and, in doing so, enchanting high society. In Isadora, Julie Birmant and Cl ment Oubrerie capture the astonishing life and scandalous times of the so-called "Mother of Modern Dance" from her arrival in Europe to her tragic death in 1927. This extraordinary graphic novel spans Duncan's meetings with Auguste Rodin and Loie Fuller, her dazzling on-stage career, and the development of a style of dance--inspired by natural forms and Greek sculpture--that would become her enduring legacy.
