We notice with the onset of Modern dance in the last module and the evolution of Modern dance in this module, how Modern dance choreographers are really seeking a way to define how they naturally like to move. These choreographers are now historically linked with a choreographic theory that embodies their desire for self-expression. We could say that dance was their tool for identifying and expressing their true identity, without words, simply using physical movement and gestures.

In 1 page, double spaced:

Identify the Modern dance pioneer that you connected most with thus far.

What is their dance theory based on?

What were their choreographic inspiration and musings?

Why did you connect with this individual so much?
