Modernism and the Choreographic Imagination
Modernism and the Choreographic Imagination
Puppet of skeletal escapade’
In an undated letter, likely composed in late 1914, Mina Loy reflected on the recent aesthetic experiences that had greatly affected her, writing that the ‘things that have made [her] gasp were a few Picassos, Windham [ sic] Lewis, Nijinski dancing – perfection is infrequent’.

Building on Kevin Rockett’s identification of the parallels betwee…
