The new direction, created by Isedora Duncan and its contemporaries, changed not only our ideas about the art of dance, but also our attitude to the body, clothes, movement, and lifestyle. This book is about changes in the motor culture of the twentieth century, caused by the appearance of “free”, “plastic” dance, or “dance-modne”. The study talks about the discoveries that Duncan herself and her colleagues in the workshop (Emil Jacques-Dalros, Rudolf Laban, Mary Vigman and others), about its popularity in Russia and its many followers, as well as how a free dance developed and was made Transformed for a century. The uniqueness of the book is that in it the dance is considered in several contexts at once, including the history of culture and philosophy. Its first two parts - “will to the dance” and “art and science of movement” - historical, they tell about the “Dionysian dance” as a mythology of the Silver Age, about the dance studios of the first third of the twentieth century, the relations of dance and music, “Machine dances” , biomechanics. The third part - the “philosophy of free dance” - is devoted to the role of dance and gymnastics of the beginning of the twentieth century in the emancipation of women and “emancipation” of the body, dance as an art of “abstract”, aesthetic principles of free dance, the difference in semiotic and phenomenological approaches to movement. This work is an important stage in an actively developing scientific discipline - studies of movement and dance. The first edition of the book was published in 2012 under the title Free movement and plastic dance in Russia. The second edition included two new chapters: “mass Soviet dance” and “semiotic and phenomenological approaches to movement”, as well as the new section “Duncan and Stanislavsky”.
