A Tribute to our Essential Heroes: Varshiavianka

Dance NOW! saluted the frontline workers of the pandemic with this video of Isadora Duncan’s Varshiavianka. Filmed in rehearsal at the Little Haiti Cultural Complex, this 1924 piece, originally inspired by the Russian Revolution of 1917, is a tribute to all who fight—all who run into the heat of battle for the cause, knowing they may  not survive. This and other work of Isadora Duncan was restaged on DNM by Andrea Mantell Seidel and was to be performed in March of 2020.
