Students will work to increase their technical and expressive capabilities in a positive and supportive environment.The workshop will provide an in depth immersion into Isadora Duncan technique and repertory, and will culminate in a studio showing event.

For the teacher training portion (separate application required) of the workshop we will focus on teaching the Duncan technique to students ages 4-18 and develop lessons around nature themes, Greek mythology, and contemporary life that will resonate with today’s young dance students.
