Certificate Program I in Isadora Duncan Studies

Isadora Primordia: On Origins

Tuesday, August 4th to Friday, August 7th, 2020

Held live via Zoom with Jeanne Bresciani, Ph.D.

Honoring ‘Isadora Explorer’ specific elements in Isadora technique, class studies, choreographies and improvisational methods will trace the primordial background to her ‘style transcendent’. As in a natural history of art, uncovering ‘living laws within the living body’, reservoirs of her knowledge and experience will be delved to discover sources, symbols and meanings empowering her lasting legacy.  From material realms earthed and sublimed we shall return elemental inspiration and dynamic imperative to ourselves and to her dance in inspirational renderings grounded in principles ancient, eternal and universal. Upon registration, students will receive via email a link for scheduling private supervision and time slots will be available following workshop sessions.

The Certificate Program I is a professional training program leading to the Certificate in Isadora Duncan Studies and to the development of new Duncan programs internationally. The purpose of Program I is to train individuals intensively and professionally for the teaching and performance of the Duncan work. Three aspects of study and practice are emphasized: the aesthetic in the June week, the philosophical in the August week and the pedagogical in the February week. 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.
