In 1932, the Isadora Duncan Dancers, directed by Irma Duncan, performed Isadora Duncan’s dance entitled “Cherubim” in the garden at Greystone, the beautiful estate of Samuel Untermyer. The dancers included Julia Levien, Hortense Kooluris, Sima Leake, Mignon Garland, and Ruth Fletcher.

Eighty-eight years later, in 2020, Lori Belilove & The Isadora Duncan Dance Company performed the same piece at the same site, now known as Untermyer Gardens.

In this video, see how the movement and ideas of Duncan’s work transcend time.
