EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from 1930, two iconic figures of American modern dance, Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn, are seen in separate yet striking poses, showcasing their unique artistic expressions. The photograph of Ruth St. Denis captures her in the midst of her Lamp Dance, a groundbreaking performance that incorporated elements of Eastern spirituality and jazz rhythms. With her arms outstretched and her face illuminated by the glow of a lamp, she embodies the mystical and ethereal qualities of the dance. Meanwhile, in the second photograph, Ted Shawn is depicted in a scene from his production of Orpheus Dionysus, which he premiered at the Munich Dance Congress that year. Dressed in a flowing robe and holding a lyre, Shawn portrays the mythological figure of Orpheus, the musician and poet who travels to the underworld to rescue his wife Eurydice. This image captures the dramatic intensity and theatricality of Shawn's performances, which often blended modern dance with elements of Greek mythology and naturalism. These photographs offer a glimpse into the vibrant world of modern dance in the 1930s, an era that saw the emergence of innovative artists who challenged traditional forms of entertainment and pushed the boundaries of artistic expression. Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn were two such pioneers, whose work continues to inspire and captivate audiences to this day. Ruth St. Denis (1879-1968) and Ted Shawn (1891-1972) were influential American modern dancers who helped shape the modern dance landscape in the early 20th century. St. Denis is known for her experimental and spiritual approach to dance, while Shawn is celebrated for his physicality and theatricality. Both dancers performed extensively throughout their careers, and their work influenced a generation of modern dancers and choreographers. These photographs, taken at the Munich Dance Congress in 1930, capture them at the height of their creative powers.
