Excerpt from Ruth St. Denis, Pioneer Prophet, Vol. 1: Being a History of Her Cycle of Oriental Dances, The TextVa construaive message. 'today hundreds of young dancers have copied the externals of her art: the music, the scenery, the costuming, the cobra-eye rings on her hands, the rippling motions of her arms, the very dances themselves. But the result is merely a collection of unresolved elements. Ruth St. Denis was always intelligible because she used all these accessories as means to one clearly conceived end. Her imitators are almost never intelligible because they themselves do not know what it is all about, because they have dealt with e¿ieéts, not causes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
