Abstract
“My Bicycle Girl” was a ballet for cyclists choreographed by Catherine Littlefield and performed as part of the American Jubilee spectacle at the New York World's Fair of 1940. In the context of the Fair, on the eve of World War II, the ballet was an experimental manifestation of the contradictory desires for novelty and nostalgia in mass culture and performing arts. The ballet illuminates the historical relationships between dance, technology, and militarism in mid-century American modernism.
