Danse du Ventre: 1889<\/span><\/h2>\n

This yearMy focus for this presentation is on Danse du Ventre in Paris 1889. Paris was the epicenter of European culture throughout the 19th century.\u00a0 In 1889, Paris staged its fourth world’s fair to celebrate the centennial of their independence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tracing Dance History Through Images<\/span><\/h2>\n

This is a lavishly illustrated slide show. I’ll present this history using a host of photographs, paintings, drawings, diagrams, and published illustrations of dancers performing in Paris. These primary images help tell the story of how popular danse du ventre was in Paris.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Egyptian<\/p>\n

Paris Exposition 1889<\/span><\/h2>\n

This talk will begin at l’exposition universelle du 1889.\u00a0 \u00a0We will explore where p<\/span>resentations of the famed danse du ventre took place.\u00a0 Performances of the dances at the theater in the Rue du Caire were the most famous.\u00a0 Several different cultural groups performed the danse du ventre at venues around the site of the Exposition Universelle du 1889.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Parisian Night Life<\/span><\/h2>\n

We’ll also explore some of the other Parisian nightspots staging their own performances of the popular danse du ventre.\u00a0 <\/span>We will explore the way that these dances were performed, what environments they were presented in, and how they were advertised and documented in the press.<\/span><\/p>\n

Setting the Stage<\/span><\/h2>\n

Paris in 1889 was a way stop for our artform as it spread from the shores of the Mediterranean to\u00a0 Europe and beyond.\u00a0 The 1889 Exposition Universelle set the stage for future dancers, whet the appetite for viewers to see these shows, and served as inspiration for the producers of the next major world’s fair in Chicago just four years later.<\/span><\/p>\n
