These vividly written letters document the lives of two remarkable
women artists who were at the center of twentieth-century dance
modernism. Mary Wigman's groundbreaking choreography and inspired
performing in Germany during the 1910s and 1920s brought the
emerging art of modern dance into dialogue with modern painting,
theater, and film. Her disciple Hanya Holm took Wigman's aesthetic
philosophy to the United States in 1931, effectively adapting it to
the American temperament, and ultimately became a celebrated
choreographer of Broadway musicals such as ""Kiss Me, Kate"" and
""My Fair Lady"". Written between 1920 and 1971, Wigman's letters
are a treasury of fascinating detail about artistry, friendships of
women, and the stamina of two artists who refused to capitulate to
personal, political, and cultural forces that confronted them. They
inject immediacy into discussions of Wigman's work within the Third
Reich and cast light on Holm's construction of an American
identity. With her extensive annotation Gitelman contributes
context to the domestic and social spheres within which the women
worked on two continents. Never before published in any language,
these letters are untapped resources for historians of
twentieth-century culture, German-American relations, as well as
dance.
