NEW DANCE COLLECTION DANSE EXHIBITION
GUEST CURATOR: KATELYN ROUGHLEY
GUEST CURATOR: KATELYN ROUGHLEY
Canadian-born dancer Maud
Allan’s story reads like a modern-day tabloid … filled with libel
suits, murder and tempestuous love affairs. A provocative and
charismatic dancer, Maud was renowned for her unique “dance
interpretations” and her scandalous Salomé costume – showcased here for
the first time following a two-year conservation project. Peppered with
memorabilia ranging from cigarette silks to coffee tins, this exhibition
takes visitors back in time to Edwardian London’s “Salomania” craze.
Join DCD in uncovering the Mata-Hari-like life and times of Canada’s best-kept dance
secret – Maud Allan – who plummeted from international stardom into
obscurity.
