Loie Fuller And Duncan

Modern dance was built by rebellious artists, who wanted to change the face of dance. There were women and men who contributed to the discovery of modern dance, because they felt restricted by ballet. Loie Fuller, known as a modern dance visionary created her own style of movement and broke the mold for traditional choreography (Nelson).

Fuller’s movement was built off of experimentation and is believed to have laid the framework for the development of modern dance. Isadora Duncan, known as the mother of modern dance, drew her inspiration from beauty, motion, and form. Both Fuller and Duncan wanted to break boundaries not only in the dance world but in society. Fuller and Duncan’s relationship started when Duncan saw Fuller perform in France
