The film pulls back the curtain on Loïe Fuller, a wildly original performer who revolutionized the visual culture of the early 20th century. But it is not a biopic. Creating a dialogue between the past and the present, the documentary delves into the astonishing influence Fuller’s work has on contemporary culture including artists like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Taylor Swift, Bill T. Jones, Shakira and William Kentridge, among many others. In the process, the film uncovers commonalities that connect these creative luminaries to Fuller and each other.\nThe American creator of modern dance, Fuller (1862-1928) invented a completely new kind of spectacle which combined dance, fabric and movement. She also pioneered the ingenious use of electricity for the stage, even building a glass floor so that she could be lit from below. Anyone who has been to a rock concert has seen a modern version of her lighting designs. Fuller propelled herself into swirling abstractions that made audiences gasp and she immediately understood the importance of protecting her ownership of these innovations. Always struggling against a flood of imitators, Fuller was the first choreographer to attempt to copyright her dances and sued to protect her work as early as 1893.\nLoïe Fuller & Maryhill Museum of Art\nIn her heyday, Loïe Fuller’s circle of friends included artists, politicians, and European royalty. It was she who convinced Sam Hill to turn his unfinished mansion south of Goldendale, WA into a museum originally intended to showcase French fine art. She also cultivated friendships with Marie, the Queen of Romania, and Alma de Bretteville Speckels, philanthropist and founder of the Museums of San Francisco’s Legion of Honor art museum.\nFuller’s close association with well-known artists in France helped build the core of the museum’s collection, including works by French sculptor Auguste Rodin. Fuller is one of the primary founders of Maryhill Museum of Art along with Hill, Queen Marie, and Spreckels.\nVisit The Loie Fuller Exhibition at Maryhill Museum of Art, which includes Art Nouveau posters, photographs, art glass, and memorabilia from her 35-year career as a performer.\n
