  • This footage of Mary Wigman performing ‘Pastorale’ has been dated to 1929 by the techniques and the characteristics of her development at that time.
    What particularly struck me about this performance is the extraordinary plasticity of her arms and hands.
    I think this is the original sound. Silent films could be given the illusion of being with sound by synchronising the footage with a phonograph record. Gaumont’s Chronomégaphone was in operation as early as 1908.
    Wigman was a German dancer, choreographer and pioneer of expressionist dance, who also advocated and developed dance therapy.
    She was one of the most important figures in the history of European dance, an iconic figure in Weimar Republic German culture.
    Her work was praised for translating existential ideas onto the stage.
    Enjoy!

    Beautiful and very deep ! I like her famous witch dance beside this performance... and somehow I feel similarity between her dance and early Butoh especially Tatsumi Hijikata and Kazuo Ono.

    Interesting comparison to middle eastern arms and hands. See, regardless of ethnic identity beautiful and meaningful use of arms and hands originate from the spine and travel through the epaulement, hence involve the chest. Her back and chest are immobile hence the hands are just flapping around and the port de bras is primitive in a non stylistic way. She's just flapping and flopping. And I agree with Pedia with comparison to Isadora. Neither of them were dancers. Other contributions, I'm sure... but who wants to watch "historical significance"?!

      +Sima Raft yes, the back is curiously out of play here, immobile in a sense. what do you think of her chore as apart from her dancing?

      +Sima Raft yes, and it seems apart from everything else pretentious and self-consciously self-important

      John Hall Hallelujah! I didn't want to be the one to say it! And the self important pretentiousness still lives today, in Pina Bausch for example. What a load of horse shit!

      +Sima Raft i saw Pina Bausch in Lndon as a kid and felt the pressure to admire her - now i can join forces with those who can with confidence now say 'horse-iest shit'!
