A bold feminist and rule-breaker, Isadora Duncan revolutionized dance with a movement language that helped ignite the birth of modern dance. This workshop invites you to step inside that legacy — physically, viscerally, and creatively. Duncan once said that she never taught her students to dance but rather asked them to appeal to their spirits. In this approach, we aim to renew and expand this vision of self-empowerment, infusing these historic works with 21st-century insight, energy, and purpose. Resources and educational materials will be provided.
