Rodin and dance is the exhibition at the Rodin Museum from April 7 to July 22, 2018. Organized around the series of 13 Dance Movements in terracotta, the exhibition traces all of Rodin's research and experimentation around dance. This fascination of Rodin with dance began in the 1890s, whendancers around the world embarked on new experiments that transformed the art into less mundane entertainment.
At the1900 World's Fair, Rodin discovered the Cambodian dancers and said that "they took the beauty of the world with them". He befriended exceptional personalities, including Isadora Duncan, Loïe Fuller, Cambodian dancers and Hanako, a Japanese dancer.
Expressing the life of bodies, translating their vital energy, their balance, their strength are at the heart of Rodin's creation. We find then some sculptures that Rodin imagined to express the tensions of the bodies and to retranscribe daring lifts, between balance and imbalance seen in his life.
