These dances were performed by Dara Manda, Souka Hati, Carola Perrier, Little Jeanine, Charrat and the dancer Tranki.
Raymond Duncan, brother of the famous dancer Isadora Duncan, installed in 1911 in Paris an academy on the model of Plato: "Raymond Duncan was fascinated by ancient Greece since childhood: the aesthetics and the way of life that he promoted to the Akademia were imbued with this influence. The press of the time glossed over the clothes worn by Raymond Duncan and his followers: "Greek-style" tunics that he / she made themselves. Behind the supposed ridiculousness of this accoutrement, these unisex tunics were a way of abolishing the differences of sexes and social classes. Raymond Duncan would have adopted this outfit after his coachman was denied access to a beach because of his livery that betrayed his social status. The life of the Akademia was organized around many activities: dance, music, weaving, gymnastics, crafts, spinning, Orphic singing, Greek language and philosophy. These courses included outside students - who paid according to their abilities - and members of the community living within its walls for a few days, months or years. Housed and nurtured - according to the vegetarian diet promoted by Duncan - the latter, in return, participated in the community economy by making sandals, spinning wool, weaving tunics on primitive crafts. These artefacts were then sold - at high prices - in the Akademia shop located rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. (Journal of the Akademia exhibition : Performing Life at Villa Vassilieff, 2018)
