Isadora Duncan & A Sense of the Beautiful

Certificate Program I Course open to Candidates and General Students of all levels.

Held via Zoom with Jeanne Bresciani. Includes 15 credit hours of CPI training.

The purpose of Program I is to train individuals intensively and professionally for the teaching and performance of the Duncan technique. Three aspects of study and practice are emphasized: the aesthetic, the philosophical and the pedagogical. Each aspect is approached experientially through physical embodiment. The program is based on authentic Duncan technique and choreography, while developing a powerful access to students’ own creative resources for moving, teaching and the creation of new works.

About the Course:

“… create Beauty and Inspiration for a new life “   ID

        The legacy of Isadora Duncan as revelatory of beauty is a vital touchstone of her tradition. Arguably, she alone traversed the great abyss toward Modernism embodied and with beauty as a cogent and inherent value. Perhaps, among all the powers of her vast artistry, it was her astonishing call for the chain of being to be linked to the undying value of beauty that had first been defined by the Greeks for our understanding. For beauty is bequeathed to us from Duncan as mandate for every living person and as an eternal principle proffered as prayer and possibility to the modern world. In Duncan’s six-fold relationship to beauty comprised of: apperception, receptivity, possession, expression, communion and bestowal – a complete round of experience is returned to the beautiful. As an education for life through the dance, Duncan’s practice, philosophy and pedagogy continues to become an education for beauty’s sake in all its ideal and variegated forms within the self, others and in the soul of the world itself.
