Description
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Va construaive message. 'today hundreds of young dancers have copied the externals of her art: the music, the scenery, the costuming, the cobra-eye rings on her hands, the rippling motions of her arms, the very dances themselves. But the result is merely a collection of unresolved elements. Ruth St. Denis was always intelligible because she used all these accessories as means to one clearly conceived end. Her imitators are almost never intelligible because they themselves do not know what it is all about, because they have dealt with eflieets, not causes.
