Isadora Duncan

Every time I walk past this house in Cromarty I see, out of the corner of my eye, Isadora Duncan dancing with her scarf. (It's no help that my brain always says Cruella de Ville, but my brain is a funny thing).

Isadora is credited with inventing modern dance (see contemporary clip in 1st extra) though I realise the pose I'm seeing comes from the Vanessa Redgrave film in 1968 which won the Palme D'Or at Cannes (see extra 2).
Duncan made a big thing of her scarf, until she was strangled when it caught in the wheel of an open car.

Can you see what I see, or have I gone round the twist?
