That dance is an enchanted world, a place where imagination sometimes exceeds the reality. Princesses turn into swans, everyday objects seen transpire in dreams, goblins, witches and fairies were the focus assoluti.Dora Angela (Isadora Duncan is a pseudonym) is the name anagrafe of a beautiful girl who was a child manifests a lively creative out of the ordinary. We read in his biography: "When I was about ten years my dance classes were so popular that I told my mother that it was useless to send me to school again ..." the mid-nineteenth century new forms of artistic expression, in particular the spread of the variety theater, the intellectual fashion, naturism, are summarized in the thinking of the French musician François Delsarte learned that recasts in effective teaching. Isadora Duncan, who was also a teacher of many students of the Alps, dreaming of the dance to bring dignity to play in greek theater. "I see dance as a destination has the highest expression of feelings and deepest of the human soul ...". With a clear break schematic trends of the time, returns to the art of Isadora dancing deep emotions, aroused trepidation in his temperament from poetry, music, nature. Speaking of masterpieces, Edgar Degas, the famous French painter of the nineteenth century, wrote: "... and 'the movement of people and things that comforts us. If the leaves of the trees were not moving, the trees would be infinitely sad and their sadness is ours." Perhaps the only artist I have ever devoted so much attention around the "ephemeral" of the dancers had good intuition and outside the movement, in our case of bodily movements, there is a silent ruin. The dancer Isadora is a poet of spontaneous feeling, moving into the countryside and its charming inner emotions. Unconventional, sexually transgressive (practiced free love), too relaxed, her disarming beauty (although there were those who called it little attractive) had mad great personalities of the time. Lenin himself, who rushed to admire in a performance at the Moscow theater Bolsoj, it remained literally in love. Moreover, "the divine" let talk about his body, expressive gestures, movements purified from any natural virtuosity, nudity seen as the purest form. Isadora challenge the fashion of the time visiting museums all over Europe and studied the history of women and men depicted on vases, bas-reliefs on, making them live again in scenes that will remain forever etched in historical memory. Dressed in a white robe and bare feet, focuses on the desire to enhance the body language: mimics the waves of the sea, the passage of the wind, the flight of birds, she explores the phenomena of nature. Unfortunately it happens that the life of a great artist is distraught, devastated by the tragic events family and personal, she died, strangled by a scarf gets caught in the wheels of the car. Rudolf Nureyev, the greatest dancer of all time, said that the dance: "is my conviction, perhaps, but also my happiness. If I were asked to dance when I stop, I would say" When will to live. " From now on, with all that Isadora was the first complicated, it becomes poetry: no longer walk, but verse does not rhyme but torments, "... a poem in which every word is a movement" and the great dancer told to clear tones: the dance as I understand it.
