About the work

Isadora Duncan (1877-1927) began her affair with Edward Gordon Craig in 1904. He was her first long-term lover and their daughter, Deirdre, was born in September 1906. Craig was Duncan's partner who best understood her art and his portfolio of six drawings are significant documentation of her dances, performed as interpretations of and in response to music more usually performed in the concert hall than as accompaniment to dance. Duncan who performed in a free style, bare-foot and in a Greek-style tunic is often described as the founder of modern dance.
