Isadora Duncan

I have begun to research Isadora Duncan. I went on several interesting sites. While looking for useful sites, I used Google Advanced Search. This was helpful, but sometimes led to unhelpful sites. I took a lot of notes, but will continue to research her.

She relates to the big picture because she was one of the first dancers in America to break away from Ballet. She is very famous and sometimes known on a first-name basis.

After I finish researching Isadora, I will research Mary Wigman and her company.

The Very Beginning

I'm Annalie, and I'm very interested in Dance, especially Modern Dance. I've been dancing since I was three years old, and I'm currently in a Pre-Professional Modern Dance Company. This blog is a part of a Research Project I am conducting for school that will go on for several months.

So far, I have created a proposal, and annotated and made an outline of an entry from The Encyclopedia of Dance. This gave me a general overview of Modern Dance's history. It notes at the end of the entry how from the 1950's and on, the relationships between choreographers and forms of modern dance became so complex that it is almost impossible to trace. I wonder if I will be able to trace it, or if I choose to.
