Isadora Duncan: Movement from the Soul (1989)

Actors

Plot
This unsentimental portrait of the complex and charismatic "Mother of Modern Dance" traces the life and artistic development of San Francisco-born Isadora Duncan (1877-1927). Duncan raised dance from mere vaudeville entertainment to a legitimate art form, laying the foundation for today's modern dance. The first American performing artist to gain worldwide acclaim, she dared to use her medium for political purposes: creating the first choreography to call people to arms, to express the plight of repressed workers, and to agitate for the freedom of women. Set against the social tapestry of turn-of-the-century America and Europe, Isadora Duncan: Movement From the Soul is a study of a revolutionary and iconoclast, a woman who dared to defy Victorian mores through both her art and the way she lived. Illuminating and gracefully crafted, the documentary interweaves the details of Isadora Duncan's tumultuous life with re-creations of twelve of her dances. Spanning the entire range of her career, these dances illuminate Duncan's personal and artistic development. Viewers witness the evolution of Duncan's early lyrical compositions into her later dramatic and politically motivated work. An essential film for dance students and scholars, Isadora Duncan: Movement From the Soul is also appropriate for American studies, cultural history, art history, and women's studies classes, and will be of interest to anyone who wants to know more about this singular woman and her art.

Tamara Rojo in Five Brahms Waltzes in the Manner of Isadora Duncan (The Royal Ballet)

Duration: 3:30
Updated: 16 Oct 2014

Tamara Rojo dances the first two waltzes of Frederick Ashton's one-act ballet Five Brahms Waltzes in the Manner of Isadora Duncan, 2004. Find out more at http://www.roh.org.uk/productions/five-brahms-waltzes-in-the-manner-of-isadora-duncan-by-frederick-ashton Frederick Ashton saw Isadora Duncan dance in London in 1921. It was to be one of the most enduring influences on his life. Duncan's freedom of movement, the driven intensity of her dancing and the way in which she seemed to fuse music and dance, were all profound influences on Ashton's own choreographic style. Almost fifty years after seeing her perform, Ashton recalled, 'She had the most extraordinary quality of repose. She would stand for what seemed quite a long time doing nothing, and then make a very small gesture that seemed full of meaning'. Ashton originally choreographed a single waltz for Lynn Seymour, which had its premiere at a Hamburg gala on 22 June 1975 in memory of Vaslav Nijinsky (another choreographer strongly influenced by Duncan). The following year he expanded the piece to create a suite for Seymour, for a gala celebrating the 50th anniversary of Ballet Rambert – Marie Rambert, another admirer of Duncan, reputedly burst into tears on seeing Seymour so strongly embody one of her idols. Seymour never saw Duncan dance but was guided by the compendium of photos and line drawings that Ashton had collected. She later said of Duncan, 'She was a pioneer – she had a huge, strong self-belief. You don't see a lot of that today'.

Top Vigilantes Of Love, Isadora Duncan

Well, I have a friend
Knew Isadora Duncan
Yeah, she wore her scarves too long
Hit the gas a bit too strong
She lost her head
Still she saw the glory
Or so goes the story
Hope she was not wrong
She waits underneath electricity
What does she touch?
What does she see?
Isadora Duncan's so free
She is leaping
She is spinning with some urgency fantastic
Outspoken, she is choking as she veers into heavy traffic
Were you listening to the angels between the lines of
your symphony?
Dancing under cobalt-blue skies
Morning star
Free
You taught me well
Loved me even better
Prayed over my fields when they were cold and barren
Yeah, you held the truth from an austere trailor
Shoring up my failure

Top Vic Chesnutt, Isadora Duncan

Once i dreamed i was dancing with isadora duncan
In a silver cafe,
It was a cafe that was not at all near here
She was planning to diversify
And she sang i should do the same
So i whistled to her how i loved her the best
But she sang "i can't believe you own this attitude",
But with some ballet moves,
I removed her shoes
And i painted my lips to hers
And still she sang "i can't believe you own this attitude"
She sang "i can't believe you own this, this attitude"
She needed her beauty sleep
Though i didn't want it to sound like that
Her mind was occupied,
Her hard coffee was cold by then as snow
And she sang "my smile is more than pearly white,
And my dreams are more than you",
She sang "my yellow eyes are more than mirrors,
And my scarf is more, more, more than blue."
And she sang "i can't believe you own this attitude"
Yes i sang "i can't believe you own this, this attitude"
She closed her new directions paperbook
And screamed "there is no shelter in the arts"
She'd been crying all day
But now her eyes they were brighter than the moon
And she sang "my smile is more than pearly white,
And my dreams are more than you",
She sang "my yellow eyes are more than mirrors,
And my scarf is more, more, more, more than blue."
And she sang "i can't believe you own this attitude"
"i can't believe it, i can't believe you own this attitude",

Top Burden Of A Day, Isadora Duncan

Oh Isadora how beautifully misunderstood
Is that what kept you moving moving
So ahead of you time but so far behind from where
You should be heading
Settle you heart settle you heart
Lead me with your little strong hands
I'll follow you to the of the world (you could be better than)
To end of the would where ever you wish If only you would let me
If only you would let me catch my breath (we could be better than this)
Rest your head and your weary eyes when we continue
We could be something so much more
What sort of view is my heart from a rearview mirror
What sort of view are you searching for
Oh Isadora
Surely you have just reason to run
What have you done
What is the cause
You could be so free
Reat your head and your weary eyes when we continue
We could be something so much more
What sort of view is my heart from a rearview mirror
What sort of view were you searching for
Oh Isadora rest your weary heart settle your soles
Know that where ever you are where ever you run
You're not alone
[Jes vas a l'amor]
Oh Isadora, oh Isadora
(You could be so free)
Oh Isadora
(You could be so free)
Oh Isadora
(You could be so free)

Top Celia Cruz, Isadora Duncan

Cuando bailó,
Te dijeron hay vez
Ausente como el mensaje de Isadora.
Entre el amor
Una pasión vivió
Y a nadie
Se le encadenaba Isadora.
El arte que dominó,
Cual llama de su placer,
El mundo entero animado
La aclamó.
Isadora
Formó la liberación,
Isadora Duncan,
Leyenda que no murió.
Tuvo el encanto, la simpatía,
La valentía.
La bailarina de una pureza
Que no vencía.
En las piernas de Isadora,
Bailaban, muchas razones,
Impuso una nueva moda,
Con sus improvisaciones.
El ballet que fue su arte,
Nombre y fama le ganó,
Y el amor fue su estandarte,
El hombre fue su pasión.
Cuando bailó,
Le dijeron tal vez
Autentico fue el mensaje de Isadora.
En cada amor,
Una pasión vivió
Y a nadie se encadenaba Isadora.
El arte que dominó
Cual llama de su placer
El mundo entero animado
La aclamó.
Eh. La gran Isadora Ducan
Su arte al mundo brindó,
Su vida fue una tragedia
Pero su baile triunfo,
Isadora Duncan.
“Isadora formó la liberación,
Isadora Duncan
En gesta que no murió'
Isadora Duncan bailaba,
Sin reglas sin posición
Interpretaba sus salsas
Con dulce improvisación.
Isadora Duncan.
“Isadora formó la liberación,
Isadora Duncan,
en gesta que no murió'
Se liberaba al danzar
Se liberaba al amar,
Fue muy violenta su vida
Y violento fue el final
De Isadora Duncan
“Isadora formó la liberación,
Isadora Duncan,
en gesta que no murió'
Este homenaje sencillo
A lo que su arte fue,
Te lo brinda con cariño
Ese gran si te puré
Si te pure.
“Isadora formó la liberación,
Isadora Duncan,
en gesta que no murió'
(Instrumentación)
Eh, la gran Isadora Duncan
Bailó y bailó por doquier,
Con este temperamento
Hizo al mundo estremecer,
Isadora Duncan.
“Isadora formó la liberación,
Isadora Duncan,
en gesta que no murió'
Fue muy violenta su vida,
Y violento fue el final,
Isadora, Isadora Duncan
Yo te tengo que cantar.
“Isadora formó la liberación,
Isadora Duncan,
en gesta que no murió'
El mundo que la admiró,
El mundo que la aplaudió
Cuando supo de su muerte,
Por Isadora lloró, lloró y lloró.
“Isadora formó la liberación,
Isadora Duncan,
en gesta que no murió'
“Isadora formó la liberación,
Isadora Duncan,
en gesta que no murió'
“Isadora formó la liberación,
Isadora Duncan,
en gesta que no murió'
