In ancient Greece the term 'orkestika' meant dance, everything related to dance. It also included poetry, sang

motion art of the 20th century returned to the Greek roots consciously. It focused on natural movement of the body instead of dance choreography.

They danced in Greek mantle instead of ballet shoes. In photos of old performances, we see genre scenes.

The audience learned of the reconstructed Greek gymnastics system of Raymond Duncan (1874-1966) interpreted by his sister Isadora Duncan (1878-1927) and students. In Hungary, the mathematician, philosopher aesthete Dienes Valéria (1879-1978) popularized 'orkestika' that she learned as the student of Raymond Duncan in Paris.

The Hungarian 'orkestika' movement was closely related to progressive art intentions.

The Hungarian Motion Art Association opened the traveling exhibition titled 'The Dawn of Hungarian Dance (1912-1948) now open in the National Educational Library and Museum. Our chamber exhibition titled 'New School and Orestika' related to the formerly mentioned display.
