Through a rigorous analysis, the authors reveal how avant-garde choreographers and dancers collaborated with social and philosophical movements that questioned the industrial and imperialist order. The work offers an unprecedented perspective on the history of the performing arts, integrating labor, feminist, and anti-colonial struggles with the search for the invisible in choreographic creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book places the reader at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, a period of profound political, economic, and environmental transformation. In that context, dissident voices emerged that, rooted in Spiritualism and Theosophy, articulated critiques of capitalism, patriarchy, and imperialism. Concurrently, the art of dance underwent an aesthetic revolution driven by creators seeking new forms of bodily and spiritual expression. The work documents the exchanges and collaborations between these artists and Theosophical and Spiritualist circles, demonstrating that modern dance was not only an artistic phenomenon, but also a vehicle for exploring hidden dimensions of existence and for imagining other possible worlds. Hitherto relegated to the background in art narratives, dance emerges here as a central space for the confluence of the visible and the invisible, the political and the spiritual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistory of modern dance and its aesthetic renewal processes at the beginning of the 20th century.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationships between Spiritualism, Theosophy, and avant-garde performing arts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritique of the industrial, imperialist, and patriarchal social order from spiritual and artistic perspectives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCollaborations and exchanges between choreographers, dancers, and labor, feminist, and anti-colonial movements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRevision of art historiography to integrate dance as a central discipline in cultural narratives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at students, researchers, and professionals in dance, art history, cultural studies, and philosophy.
