Loie Fuller

Marie Louise Fuller , better known as Loie Fuller ( Fullersburg , Illinois , United States , January 15, 1862 - Paris, France, January 1, 1928 ) was a dancer , actress, producer, and writer who acquired great fame by focusing in visual effects ; used tissues and multicolored lights floating .Fuller began her theatrical career as a professional child actress and later choreographed and performed dances in burlesque (as a skirt dancer), vaudeville, and circus shows. An early free dance practitioner, Fuller developed her own natural movement and improvisation techniques, also  Fuller combined her choreography with silk costumes illuminated by multi-coloured lighting of her own design.

He worked mainly in Europe, where he created nearly 130 dances among which are the Dance of the Snake (1890) and Fire Dance and work alone for your group as Deep Sea (1906 ) and the Ballet of light ( 1908).

The new dance was originated by Loïe Fuller, who gave varying accounts of how she developed it. By her own account, which is widely reported, having never danced professionally before, she accidentally discovered the effects of stage light cast from different angles on the gauze fabric of a costume she had hastily assembled for her performance in the play Quack M.D., and spontaneously developed the new form in response to the audience's enthusiastic reaction upon seeing the way her skirt appeared in the lights.

I like it Because she invented a new form of movement , not only from the established movements. She showed us a real dance, free dance that guides you through different feelings, and finally I like its simplicity, it shows a beautiful dance full of nuances and Wealth.
