There were boys too not just girls..when the schools went broke the boys went first..girls at the time couldn’t vote own properly or have a bank account.. so yes let’s educate the girls .. they need it so desperately to be free .. boys could do a trade ..eventually girls ended up playing the boys parts and this indeed was revolutionary whoa .. heroic masculine liberated warrior girls Improvisation looking .. Isadora’s was a healer by rediscovery primitive ancient movement and in fact doing primitive ancient movement has a healing effect on the body / mind releasing the Soul
Thank you for making this. I was invited to teach about Permaculture at the Duncan Dance Research Center in Athens and this video really helped me get an understanding about where I am going and in whose footsteps I will be walking. The Ancestor of this place that people try to emulate, even today.
where is the first long quote from ‘The dancer of the future will be one of whose body and soul have grown so harmonically together that the natural language of that soul will have become the movement of the body. She will dance not in the form of a nymph, nor fairy, nor coquette but in the form of a woman in its greatest and purest expression, she will dance the changing life of nature, showing how each part is transformed into the other, she will dance the freedom of women, she will dance the body emerging from centuries of civilized forgetfulness… no longer at war with spirituality and intelligence, but joining them in a glorious harmony’ (Isadora Duncan)
Thank you. Might this gorgeous, sensitive music be paired with the images alone somewhere? And, is your work available in a recording? Sheer, deep delight, reverie, yet, calm subtlety, unlike most modern bombast. Grateful! It matters. It matters!
Thanks for your kind words about "Watercolors," glad you enjoyed it! You can listen to the audio-only recording at soundcloud.com/nellshawcohen/sets/watercolors and find images of the paintings, and learn more about their connection to the music, here: beyondthenotes.org/artmusic/burchfield/music.html
Brava! Thank you, Nancy and Nell. Sublimity and joy in all you both do. See also CEB's spiritual cousin from the South- the "Islander"- Walter Inglis Anderson. Go deep; see his jeweled, typing paper watercolors, read his logs. You have been waiting for this. The search and the song have begun.
Pretty sure I am somehow related to this man. I am a Birchfield and an artist with a very similar style to his. I've been doing some genealogy research and came across him. Burchfield and Birchfield is exactly the same name that came from Birkfelt, Germany.
Really enjoy this and your other work. I've posted it on my facebook.com/classicaljewels/ and shared it in a Dutch Classical Music facebookgroup. Keep up the good work!
Marvelous inspirational and creative artists, wonderful human being, bigger than life- Isadora.. and her divine dance, apssion for life and goodness, her tragically lost beloved kids and husband- great Russian poet Jesyenin, and her untimely incredible death. Fantastci eternal legend- Isadora Duncan.
