A graphic biography of the pioneering, freespirited Mother of Modern Dance In 1899, performing in the drawing rooms of Londons elite, Isadora Duncan (18771927) was already laying the foundations for modern dance.

This extraordinary graphic novel spans Duncans meetings with Auguste Rodin and Loie Fuller, her dazzling onstage career, and the development of a style of danceinspired by natural forms and Greek sculpturethat would become her enduring legacy.
