Diana Huebert

Diana Huebert (born Josephine Campbell (1899–1983) was a Chicago modern dancer and advocate of the experimental humanities. She was first exposed to dancing through her father, who was a ballet teacher in Chicago. Although she was classically trained, she left Chicago to study experimental and avant-garde forms of “free” dancing , in the vein of Isadora Duncan. In Paris, she studied under Raymond Duncan, the brother of her idol, and then traveled throughout Europe seeing performances of modern dance. Upon her return the United States, she became a professional dancer, dance teacher, lecturer, and producer. She retired in 1969, four years after her husband Abel Faidy’s death. She spent her retirement attempting to memorialize the architectural and design work of her husband. She died in Chicago.
