"Lotus Light" by Ruth St. Denis (1932)

The Long Road

About this episode

I'm happy to share some of the poetry of modern dance icon Ruth St. Denis from her amazing poetry book, "Lotus Light" which was published in 1932 and beautifully illustrated by her friend Ruth Harwood. Ruth St. Denis was one of the biggest names in the world of modern dance during the early 1900s, and her work still influences dancers and movement artists even today. She's one of my favorite people to read and study. Enjoy. :)
