== Biographical/historical information ==

Duncan, Isadora is an American dancer. Angela Isadora Duncan, born Dora Angela Duncan was born in San Francisco on May 27, 1877. By national Isadora Duncan was Irish. The children of Isadora Duncan drowned with their nanny in 1913. Didre, the daughter of Gordon Crag, was 7 years old, and Patrick, the son of Paris Eugene Singer, was only 4 years old. Duncan herself died tragically in Nice on September 14, 1927. Buried at the Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris.

== Concept ==

Duncan is an innovator and reformer of choreography who, in his dances, freed from the formalistic classical ballet forms, made plastic expression of musical content. She contrasted the classical ballet school with a free plastic dance. She used ancient Greek plastic, danced in a chiton and without shoes. She was one of the first to use symphonic music for dance, including Chopin, Gluck, Schubert, Beethoven, Wagner. Isadora dreamed of creating a new man for whom dancing would be more than a natural affair. With her dance, she restored the harmony of soul and body. She opened to people the dance in its pure form, "self-valuable only in itself," built according to the laws of pure art. In the harmonic art of Isadora Duncan, the desire for harmony and beauty is expressed in perfect form. Starting from music, she came in motion to the harmonic canon, and that is why she became the main and only founder of all dance modernism. Duncan has achieved a perfect match with the emotional expression of musical and dance images. It was a new approach to the art of dance, a new method of creative expression, which was outside the aesthetic framework of the traditional ballet school. The movement was born out of music, and not preceded by it.

== Tradition ==

Today in different countries of the world - America, France, Germany, Sweden, Hungary, Greece and Russia, followers of art Isadora Duncan preserve and develop the traditions of her dance. The original choreography of Duncan was recorded in notes, books on dance technique were released, and the original Duncan dances performed by contemporary dancers were filmed. In 2001, the Isadora Duncan Cultural Center for the Pure Arts (Duncan Center) was established in St. Petersburg, within the framework of which, since 2002, the annual International Open Non-Commercial Festival dedicated to the memory of Isadora Duncan (Duncan Festival) has been held.
