Isadora Duncan Dance Technique
In preparation for the third biennial Isadora Duncan International Symposium Resurgence: Bridging Time and Techniques, August 10-12, 2017 at the ODC Dance Theatre, the IDIS Steering Committee will offer community open classes in Duncan technique. We will explore traditional classwork exercises and phrases from historic Duncan repertory, as well as investigate intersections between early modern and postmodern/contemporary dance. www.duncansymposium.com
Famed for her bare feet, silk tunics, and free spirit, Isadora Duncan (1877- 1927) identified the solar plexus as the initiatory center of all emotive and expressive movements and trained a generation of dancers who preserved and passed on her movement technique, as well as her extensive repertory of dances, through a body-to-body legacy still active today.
