Divine Love: An Isadora Duncan Workshop
Ages 16 and Up, NO PRIOR DANCE TRAINING REQUIRED
Inspired by the philosophy and movement of Isadora Duncan, this workshop explores dance as a natural, expressive language of the body. Rooted in breath, gravity, and emotion, Duncan technique draws from simple human movement—walking, running, skipping, and leaping—allowing the body to move with freedom and authenticity.
In this workshop we will explore Divine Love, a concept at the heart of Duncan’s artistic vision. She viewed divine love not as a traditional religious idea, but as a powerful, ecstatic force that connects the human soul to the beauty of the universe. Through music and movement, participants will explore how dance can awaken this sense of connection and express the joy, tenderness, and expansiveness of love.
