June 20-23 The Mystic Fountain: A legacy of expressive gesture embodied from the Baroque to Denishawn
What do early modern dance and early ballet have in common? The expressive body, of course!
In our American legacy, Isadora Duncan, Ruth St. Denis, and Ted Shawn explored the expressive body in a surprisingly similar fashion as their baroque counterparts, John Weaver, Marie Sallé, and Jean-Georges Noverre. Their commonality lie in a study of expressive gesture and a tradition of teaching that goes back to the Greco-Roman aesthetic. What was their aim? Truth. Beauty. Persuasion.
