## Bio

Born in California in 1877 or 1878, Angela Isadora Duncan left the States at 22 and spent the rest of her life dancing across Western Europe, the U.S., and Soviet Russia. She built modern contemporary dance from scratch, stripping away the corset and the rigid positions, performing to wild acclaim in cities that had never seen a body move that free. The work made her a pioneer; the stages kept filling. On September 14, 1927, riding in an open car in Nice, her scarf tangled in the wheel and axle. She was gone in an instant, mid-tour, mid-career, the legend already made.
