MORE ABOUT LOIE FULLER

Loie Fuller (1.15.1862– 1.1.1928) was a pioneer of both modern dance and theatrical lighting techniques. Born in the Chicago suburb of Fullersburg, now Hinsdale, IL, Fuller began her theatrical career as a professional child actress and later choreographed and performed dances in burlesque (as a skirt dancer), vaudeville, and circus shows. An early free dance practitioner, Fuller developed her own natural movement and improvisation techniques. Fuller combined her choreography with silk costumes illuminated by multi-coloured lighting of her own design. Visit wikipedia for more information.

Cost: $20/Adult; $10/Senior; $5/Student
