It was indeed an adventure for those pioneers in France who
struggled for the recognition of the new-born dance of the
twentieth century - from the free dance of Isadora Duncan, through
the absolute dance of Mary Wigman, to the modern dance of Martha
Graham.
Jacqueline Robinson has lived at the heart of this adventure,
sharing the aspirations of a whole generation who often suffered
from the lack of understanding of an establishment more inclined
towards classical ballet.
From the breaking of the soil in the twenties, to the flowering in
the sixties, here is a chronicle of the changing landscape of
French dance. Here is the story of those men and women, ploughmen
and poets, rebels and visionaries - the recollection of those
events that made it possible for dance as an art form in Western
countries to rise again as a fundamental expression of the human
spirit.
