When She Danced

Nov 4, 2009 - Dec 20, 2009

Visit Paris in 1923 to eavesdrop on the bohemian life of international star Isadora Duncan — renowned as the “mother of modern dance” — in this evocative and incredibly funny portrait. A multi-lingual script of great heart mixes the high comedy of a colorful cast of characters with a poignant view of how art can move and inspire us.

    An intelligent glimpse into the world of an eccentric diva who lived life to its artistic and sensual fullest. … part drawing room comedy, part character profile with glimpses into the nature of creating art and a look at how art, and Duncan in particular, deeply touched so many lives.
