C. Carlson & E. Schwartz : Hommage à Isadora Duncan au Musée Bourdelle

undefined

“If there is one thing
What symbolizes my art,
It is the freedom of the woman,
And his postage
From the shackles of conventions … ”
Isadora Duncan

On  the occasion of Women’s Day on March 8, 2003, dancer and choreographer  Carolyn Carlson will perform a tribute at the Bourdelle Museum to the  great dancer Isadora Duncan, whose Antoine Bourdelle was inspired by the  bas-reliefs and frescoes of the Théâtre des Champs- Elysées. Isabelle Schwartz, an Isadorian dancer, will sketch a journey through the museum.
“All my muses,” said the sculptor, “are gestures taken during the flight of Isadora Duncan”.
A  round table will also be held on the theme The Woman, Sculpture and  Dance with Carolyn Carlson and Isabelle Schwartz, led by Annette Mattox,  dancer and sculptor.
