Come and be moved! Celebrate Isadora, the undisputed visionary icon of American Modern Dance. On the occasion of the 137th birthday of Isadora Duncan, Lori Belilove & The Isadora Duncan Dance Company will perform an evening of revolutionary dances of heroism, strength and light at The Ailey Citigroup Theater - one night only! The program will showcase rarely seen solos and group works in a program that unfolds Isadora's life as told in her own words and theatrically staged by Lori Belilove.

"...this is Duncan dancing of unusual vigor, physical weight and whole-heartedness...emotions and gestures rose out of the dancing rather than any look of acting. Throughout the program one felt much closer to (Duncan) the artist than to the romantic legend."
