Wonder where she performed the “Danse du Ventre” in 1889?
Over the past 9 months, I’ve taken a deep dive into the French, Italian, and Spanish nation archives on a quest to learn more about the performers who took the stage at the Exhibition Universelle de Paris in 1889.
I’ve been fortunate to uncover loads of beautiful primary source images, eyewitness accounts, production documentation, reviews in newspapers, posters, playbills, and even in police reports!
This is unpublished and fresh archival research! In this talk, you’ll learn all about the dances, performers, and stages where a fairgoer could see one of the numerous folk dances included under the umbrella term, “Danse du Ventre.”
