Isadora Duncan first met with Gordon Craig in the mid-December 1904. In her biography she wrote that after her performance some man came into her loge and started to express his admiration,also accused Isadora of stealing his stage decorations and ideas. Isadora denied it and asked his name. When he introduced himself as the son of Ellen Terry, Isadora's mother Dora decided to invite him to their house for a supper.
Craig in his book denied this accusation and stated that at that day he entered the room, and knowing that she was very tired decided to say no word. But,according to Craig,they actually met each other a day or couple earlier. His friend Elisa de Brusher led Gordon to Duncan's apartment to introduce Isadora and her family. During the evening she talked about  different things and showed some pictures about dance,then she discussed her plans about creation own theatre. In the end she invited Craig to see her dancing,where at the beginning indicated event happened.
