Free dance pioneer, Loie Fuller began her career as a child actress and burlesque dancer, developing her choreography using voluminous silk costumes with luminescent lighting in Serpentine Dance. The 'Goddess of Light', her experiments in stage lighting include the use of phosphorescent materials and silhouette techniques, and she made a deep and lasting influence in this field. In Fire Dance she danced on glass illuminated from below, and helped develop modern dance as an accepted art form.
