Loïe Fuller:
Research
Co-presented by M+ Live Art, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels and French May Arts Festival, Loïe Fuller: Research reactivates the famous Serpentine Dance created by Loïe Fuller (1862—1928), a controversial figure in the Western dance tradition. Fuller merged dance with special effects to metamorphose into a flame, ocean waves, and other natural phenomena by incorporating yards of silk attached to bamboo wands. Choregrapher Ola Maciejewska confronts the myth of the icon, its paradoxes, and the untraceable in the work. By archiving dance through the body, Loïe Fuller: Research provides a unique lens into dance history, its transmission, and emancipation.
This free event will be approximately forty minutes. No registration is required.
