| Description | Costume from the box with the name Danse sacre et profane (Debussy). Anita Heyworth's card index of dances (memorable dances of Atkinson and her dancers) gives the date of a performance of this dance as 15 October 1927 at the Manchester Opera House by Madge Atkinson and her dancers. It is spelt differently to the box title: 'Danses Sacree at Profane'.
The costume consists of costume bundles of a tunic, scarf, dress and girdle; head ropes (halos) hats and masks, 'devil' dresses and tights. |
