DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis cultural study of modern dance icon Isadora Duncan is the first to place her within the thought, politics and art of her time. Duncan's dancing earned her international fame and influenced generations of American girls and women, yet the romantic myth that surrounds her has left some questions unanswered: What did her audiences see on stage, and how did they respond? What dreams and fears of theirs did she play out? Why, in short, was Duncan's dancing so compelling? First published in 1995 and now back in print, Done into Dance reveals Duncan enmeshed in social and cultural currents of her time — the moralism of the Progressive Era, the artistic radicalism of prewar Greenwich Village, the xenophobia of the 1920s, her association with feminism and her racial notion of "Americanness."

Providing an overview of modern activities and trends in the teaching and performance of Duncan's dance, the author describes her own work directing The Isadora Duncan Dance Ensemble, the company that sought to implement Duncan's mission to create not a school of dance but "a school of life."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKKnown by many as the greatest dancer of her time - perhaps all time - Isadora Duncan was the matriarch and patron saint of creative self-expression. She invented her own physical language to express the spirit and worldwide hope of American democracy. A pioneer in the dance world and the women's movement, her name is synonymous with originality, spontaneity and intrigue. Her dramatic death in 1927 - she was strangled by her scarf during a joy ride on the French Riviera - was a generously fitting end to a remarkable life.Finally, here is a biography that does justice to the woman who Dorothy Parker praised as 'magnificent, generous, gallant and fated' - and christened as 'Duncan Disorderly'. Hers was a life marked by tragedy - she never recovered from the accidental drowning of her two small children - and she was plagued by alcoholism. She had a desire to astound and she never ceased to shock. Never before has the life of Isadora Duncan been given such thorough and sweeping treatment.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA 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.
