Dance was her religion : the sacred choreography of Isadora Duncan, Ruth St. Denis, and Martha Graham

Dance has always provided a conduit between the worlds of spirit and matter, and Isadora Duncan, Ruth St Denis and Martha Graham sought to embody those worlds not only on the stage but in their lives.

For them dance was a religion. They stubbornly clung to their vision of dance as a vehicle for the sacred in the face of betrayals, censorship, and financial struggles.

Deeply imbedded in the bodies of these three dance pioneers was an understanding of the sacred and liberating aspects of dance and the female body.

This is a beautiful, compelling book authenticating the fact that these women were not only artistic geniuses but spiritual philosophers of the highest order.
