Grace & Drama: Lawn Dancing and Society in 1920 (silent)
This 1920 film combines freestyle, Isadora Duncan-inspired dancing with a glimpse into society life through formalized lawn dancing at what appears to be a wedding. It begins with women performing expressive, ballet-like movements in an outdoor setting, blending classical and freeform styles. The second half transitions into couples engaging in structured dances, each punctuated by dramatic interactions or disputes. The film’s unique mix of experimental dance and narrative elements hints it may originate from a photoplay or fictional piece, adding a layer of intrigue to this visually captivating piece.
