EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time during the 1920s when the world of dance was on the brink of a revolutionary transformation. In the foreground, we see the dancers of the renowned Mary Wigman group of Dresden, Germany, striking bold and expressive poses. Mary Wigman, a pioneer of modern dance in Europe, is known for her innovative fusion of natural and classical movements, which challenged traditional dance forms. Above the scene, a snapshot from The Festival in Berlin showcases the international reach of Wigman's influence, as dancers from various backgrounds and styles came together to celebrate the art of dance. At the right edge of the image, Fred Cooleman, an American jazz dancer, stands at the school where he was studying under Wigman's tutelage. Cooleman's presence underscores the cross-pollination of dance styles during this era, as jazz influences began to shape the modern dance scene. The photograph, taken in 1929, offers a glimpse into the rich history of dance during the 1920s, a time when the art form was both entertaining and therapeutic, and when pioneers like Mary Wigman and Fred Cooleman were pushing the boundaries of what was possible on the dance floor. This photograph is a testament to the international exchange of ideas and the evolution of dance during the 1920s. As we look at the image, we can't help but be transported back to an age of innovation and creativity, when the world of dance was on the cusp of a new era.
