FAITH LAPIDUS:Welcome to American Mosaic in VOA Special English. I'm Faith Lapidus. Today, we answer a question about famous dancer, choreographer and teacher Isadora Duncan ... Our listener question this week comes from China. Wenyu wants to know about the life of modern dancer Isadora Duncan. Angela Isadora Duncan was born in San Francisco, California in eighteen seventy-seven. Early in life, Isadora knew two things about herself. First, she wanted to make dancing her life's work. And second, she wanted to live by her own rules, and not by what other people thought was right or wrong. Isadora Duncan wanted to do the kind of dancing that was new and different from other dances at that time. She thought dancing should be an art, not just entertainment. Isadora Duncan wanted her "modern" dance style to be free and natural. She often moved her arms and legs in very smooth motions, like waves in the ocean. When she danced, Duncan wore very thin clothing. She wanted people to see her body as she skipped, jumped and ran barefoot across the stage. Many people criticized her for doing this. They thought it was not moral to dress this way. Isadora Duncan had very liberal ideas for her time. She believed in equal rights for women. She did not think a couple had to be married to have children. She thought the Bolshevik Revolution was a good thing for Russia. She spent time there teaching modern dance and creating dances for the Russian people. Isadora Duncan is remembered as the mother of modern dance. And she died an unusual death in Nice, France. The scarf she was wearing caught in the wheel of a car in which she was riding. Her neck was broken and she died instantly at age fifty. The famous American poet Carl Sandberg wrote a poem about Isadora Duncan: Here is part of what he wrote: "I am the wind … I am the sea and the moon … I dance what I am." Source: Voice of America
