ndltd-OhioLink-oai-etd.ohiolink.edu-osu13279483272021-08-03T06:04:33Z Reconstructing, labanotating and performing Loie Fuller's Fire Dance Lindberg, Jessica S. <p>Dance scholarship has only recently addressed the problem of preservation. The challenge to dancers is to preserve an art form that can never be clearly defined in words. My research focused on reconstructing my version of Loïe Fuller's signature work <i>Fire Dance</i>. Few verbal descriptions and visual representations of <i>Fire Dance</i> remain and no full version of the dance exists. As one of the first modern dance pioneers, Fuller's work has not been sufficiently recognized because there is no complete movement record of any of Fuller's performances. Though it has not been performed in 100 years, <i>Fire Dance</i> epitomizes Fuller's dance style. Until recently, it was relegated to mere mentions in dance history classes.</p><p>Drawing from critical reviews of Fuller's performances and visual representations such as sculpture, lithographs, paintings, I constructed a movement score of <i>Fire Dance</i>. I will then actively explore Fuller's possible range of movement in my own body through an authentic representation of the costume and I will notate my interpretation in Labanotation, the most commonly utilized notation system. The Labanotation score accompanies my thesis. <i>Fire Dance</i> was performed in the Winter Quarter of 2003 at Sullivant Theater as part of the Graduate Student concert. Thus, I contribute my version of this pivotal work of modern dance heritage to future dance scholarship.</p> 2003 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1327948327 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1327948327 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
