Jiyun Song, Mary Wigman and German Modern Dance: A Modernist Witch?, Forum for Modern Language Studies, Volume 43, Issue 4, October 2007, Pages 427–437, https://doi.org/10.1093/fmls/cqm062

ABSTRACT
This study engages with the two Witch Dances by Mary Wigman, a pioneering artist of German modern dance called Ausdruckstanz that developed during the first two decades of the twentieth century. By situating the dances within the cultural context of the time, the paper shows how Wigman's choice of a witch figure represents her effort to solve the dilemma of becoming both popular and innovative at the same time.
