	Encyclopedia: Loie Fuller
		Loie Fuller (Marie Louise Fuller) (January 15, 1862 to January 1, 1928) was a pioneer of both modern dance and theatrical lighting techniques.
		Born in the Chicago suburb of Fullersburg, Illinois, Fuller began her theatrical career as a professional child actress and later choreographed and performed dances in burlesque (as a skirt dancer), vaudeville, and circus shows.
		Fuller is responsible to the European tours of the early modern dancers (she was the first American 'modern 'dancer to perform in Europe), introducing Isadora Duncan to Parisian audiences and developing the acceptance of modern dance as a serious art form.

	"La Loïe" as Pre-Cinematic Performance - Descriptive Continuity of Movement
		Fuller's dance was all “in-betweeness”, a display of constant transformation and motion, the definition of modern motility; she “does not give us a figure described in a unique moment, but the continuity of the movement which describes the figure” (42).
		Fuller was also one of the first to utilise a “fl-out” prior to the commencement of her performance, a theatrical device which of course became essential to the screening of the new “moving pictures”.
		Fuller's serpentine dance itself began life as her interpretation of a hypnotised patient, “a floating spirit” (54), and it was the fantastic nature of the performance that impressed reviewers (55).
