EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time as the Margaret Morris Dancers present a selection from their repertoire at Foots Cray Place in Kent, England, on the 4th of December in 1924. The image, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a historical record of an art form that was popular during the early twentieth century. Margaret Morris dance, a unique movement practice that combined elements of exercise and dance, was founded by the eponymous British dancer, choreographer, and actress, Margaret Morris. This expressive dance form emphasized freedom of movement and individual interpretation, setting it apart from more rigid dance traditions of the time. In this photograph, we see a group of dancers, both men and women, dressed in simple, flowing costumes, as they perform at the Kent seat of Lord and Lady Waring. The elegant setting of Foots Cray Place, with its ornate interiors and grand architecture, serves as a striking backdrop to the dynamic and fluid movements of the dancers. The Margaret Morris Dance Company, which was established in 1911, gained significant popularity throughout the early 20th century. The company's innovative approach to dance and its emphasis on the importance of personal expression resonated with audiences, making it an influential art form of the time. As we look at this photograph, we are transported back to a bygone era, allowing us to appreciate the rich history of dance and the enduring legacy of Margaret Morris and her pioneering movement practice.
