We had an excellent turn-out, made some new friends and raised some much-needed funds for the 2008-2009 season. Hope you're having a lovely summer and hope to see you at 'The Medium.' All the best, Katie Dear Bob,

I have long wanted to see an outdoor performance of one of Fuller's solos on the grounds of the museum she was so instrumental in founding; what I hadn't banked on was the participation of the peacocks as a sort of corps de ballet. Lindberg's manipulation of the yards of white silk that are an integral part of the dance--Fuller patented her costume designs, which included long bamboo rods, necessary for creating art nouveau swirls, curves and architectural arabesques, made for a stunning performance, thoroughly in the spirit of the artist the French called La Loie. Lindberg's upper body strength must be phenomenal: she was not only battling gravity but the wind, nevertheless making the dance look organic and effortless. An accurate re-creation of Fuller's solo? Who knows, who cares! It was absolutely in the spirit of the American artist the French called La Loie.
