When the American modern dancers Isadora Duncan (1877-1928) and
Martha Graham (1894-1991) read Nietzsche, they were inspired by the
way in which he uses images of dance to figure an alternative to
Christian values. They each came to describe their visions for
dance in Nietzschean terms. This book investigates the role
Nietzsche's dance images play in his project of 'revaluing all
values' and does so alongside the religious rhetoric and subject
matter evident in the dancing, teaching, and writing of Duncan and
Graham. It concludes that these modern dancers found justification
and guidance in Nietzsche's texts for developing dance as a medium
of religious experience and expression.
