Biography[edit / edit wiki text]
She was born on May 27, 1877 in San Francisco in the family of Joseph Duncan, who soon went bankrupt, left his wife with four children.
Isadora, hiding her age, was sent to school at the age of 5.
At the age of 13, Duncan left school, which she considered useless, and seriously took up music and dance, continuing her self education.
Until 1902, she performed with Loi Fuller, who influenced the formation of Duncan's performing style.
At the age of 18, Duncan moved to Chicago, where she began performing dance numbers in nightclubs, where the dancer was presented as an exotic curiosity: she danced barefoot in a Greek chiton, which fairly shocked the audience.
In 1903, Duncan and her family made an artistic pilgrimage to Greece.
Here, Duncan initiated the construction of a temple on Kopanos Hill for conducting dance classes (now the Isadora and Raymond Duncan Dance Study Center).
Duncan's performances in the temple were accompanied by a choir of ten boys singers selected by her, with whom she gave concerts in Vienna, Munich, and Berlin since 1904.
In 1904, Duncan met the modernist theater director Edward Gordon Craig, became his mistress and gave birth to a daughter from him.
In late 1904 early 1905, she gave several concerts in St. Petersburg and Moscow, where, in particular, she met Stanislavsky.
In January 1913, Duncan again went on tour to Russia.
Here she found many fans and followers who founded their own studios of free, or plastic, dance[4].
In 1921, the People's Commissar of Education of the RSFSR Lunacharsky officially offered Duncan to open a dance school in Moscow, promising financial support Duncan was full of bright plans for life and creativity in the new, free from prejudice and rejecting all the old Bolshevik country: "While the steamer was leaving for the north, I looked back with contempt and pity at all the old institutions and customs of bourgeois Europe that I was leaving.
From now on, I will be just a comrade among comrades, I will develop an extensive work plan for this generation of humanity.
Goodbye to the inequality, injustice and animal rudeness of the old world, which made my school impossible!".
Despite government support, in post revolutionary Russia, Duncan faced severe domestic problems, such as hunger, lack of heating.
She had to earn most of the money for the school on her own.
The dancer herself was given the requisitioned apartment of the ballerina of the former Imperial Theaters, Ekaterina Geltser, who was abroad at that time, for her stay.
In October 1921, Duncan met the poet Sergei Yesenin.
The following year, they registered an official marriage (it was dissolved in 1924).
Usually, when describing this union, the authors note its lovingly scandalous side, but these two artists were undoubtedly brought together by creative relations[5].
Isadora Duncan tragically died in Nice, suffocating with her own scarf, which got into the wheel axle of the car on which she was taking a walk.
It was claimed that her last words, said before getting into the car, were: "Goodbye, friends!
I am going to glory" (fr. Adieu, mes amis. Je vais à la gloire!); according to other sources, however, Duncan said "I'm going to love" (Je vais à l'amour), implying the driver, and the version with the glory invented out of embarrassment friend Duncan Mary Desti, which was addressed these words[6].
Her ashes rest in the columbarium at the cemetery of Pere Lachaise.

Duncan was not just an artist and a dancer.
Her aspirations went much further than just improving her performing skills.
She, like her like minded women, dreamed of creating a new person for whom dancing would be more than a natural thing.
Nietzsche had a special influence on Duncan, as well as on her entire generation.
In response to his philosophy, Duncan wrote the book "The Dance of the Future" Like Zarathustra in Nietzsche, the people described in the book saw themselves as prophets of the future.
Duncan wrote that the new woman will reach a new intellectual and physical level "If my art is symbolic, then this symbol is only one: the freedom of a woman and her emancipation from the entrenched conventions that underlie Puritanism."
Duncan emphasized that dance should be a natural continuation of human movement, reflect the emotions and character of the performer, the impulse for the appearance of dance should be the language of the soul.
I fled from Europe from art, which is closely connected with commerce.
I prefer the movement of a hunchbacked creature, but inspired by an inner idea, to the flirtatious, graceful, but affected gesture of a beautiful woman.
There is no pose, movement or gesture that is beautiful in itself.
Every movement will be beautiful only when it truthfully and sincerely expresses feelings and thoughts.
The phrase "the beauty of lines" in itself is absurd.
A line is only beautiful when it is directed to a beautiful goal.[7]
Children[edit / edit wiki text]
Duncan raised both her own and the children she adopted.
Daughter Derdry (1906-1913) by director G. Craig and son Patrick (1910-1913) by businessman Paris Singer were killed in a car accident.
In 1914, she gave birth to a boy, but he died a few hours after birth.
Isadora adopted six of her students, among whom was Irma Erich Grimm.
The girls - "izadorabli[en]" became the continuers of the traditions of free dance and propagandists of Duncan's creativity.
