James Joyce Teaching Marcel Duchamp His Famous 'Spider Dance'
Rumours that they would be performing this dance with Dolly, the cloned sheep (see photo below), the giant silverfish, and Chickenman at the opening of ChaCha's 2024 Spring Collection have been dismissed as sensationalist speculation.
Joyce referenced this dance in 'Finnegans Wake':
"reeling more to the right than he lurched to the left....like a prance of findingos, with a shillto shallto slipny stripny, in he skittled." P.186
For further reference to the same spider dance see quote and link below.
"Another source in Zurich describes how Joyce would interrupt a weekend walk or someone correctly guessing the title of his new novel and do a kind of ‘spider dance’, and the spectacle was given an edge of comedy by his angular features and tight clothing. His long legs also gave a surreal touch to the improvised dancing. At the British consulate, after one raucous party, Budgen performed a belly dance on a safe as Joyce recreated his spider dance. According to sources, neither knew how they got home after."

Joyce mentions the 'spider' twice in 'Ulysses'
and
'Dance' and 'Dancing' 36 times.
