| Dancer, choreographer, and teacher, born in Oak Park, Illinois, USA. She studied a range of dance forms before joining Ruth Saint Denis to learn an early form of modern dance. In 1928 she formed her own group with Charles Weidman, and toured with performances of her own choreography. Her dances were often concerned with form and based on musical structures, such as With My Red Fires (1935–6) and Day on Earth (1947). She also wrote the key text on dance composition in modern dance, The Art of Making Dances (1959). |
