Many people have posted on Isadora Duncan (1877-1927) on You Tube. Some, the footage of her rapturously executing the final few steps of an outdoor performance. Others, photographs of her dancing, images that curiously seem to capture some of the dynamism and modernness of her movement. Theres also film reputedly of Isadora dancing at the Parthenon. Given that the Greek ideal was one of her primary sources of inspiration and that shes been photographed at the site, its not entirely unlikely that she'd have wanted to be filmed there. But it could equally well be a disciple, following in her footsteps. And theres footage of Isadora on board ship with the Russian poet Sergei Yesenin, whom she married in 1922. Finally and perhaps rather unfortunately I noticed French newsreel footage of the car in which Isadora met her death. All these resources are spread about and seem to justify a post putting them all together.
