In Part One, we explored Loïe's upbringing in Chicago, her devastating marriage to Colonel William Hayes, and her eventual rise to fame in the American theater world. We then explored the creation of Loïe’s Serpentine Dance, her move to Paris where she became a sensation, and her ingenious use of lighting and costume in her performances. In Part Two we finish Loïe's incredible life story and aim to honor her immense legacy as an avant-garde dancer, innovative inventor, champion of the arts, inspiring teacher, and political advocate, and as a woman who was unafraid to dance, quite literally, to the beat of her own drum.
