Isadora Duncan technique & repertory workshop in Paris
Join us for a five-day intensive immersion in the art and technique of Isadora Duncan (1877-2027) — in the city where Duncan lived, created, and profoundly shaped the history of modern dance.
Through daily technique classes and repertory sessions, we will explore Duncan’s revolutionary approach to movement: musicality, natural gesture, breath, expression, and the connection between the body and the world around us.
The workshop is intended for dancers and movers with some experience in dance or movement training who are interested in exploring Isadora Duncan’s technique, repertory, and artistic legacy.
No previous experience with Duncan technique or repertory is required. However, because the workshop includes sustained technique work, learning choreography, and creative exploration, we recommend having some prior experience with dance or movement.
The workshop is open to those encountering Duncan for the first time as well as dancers who already have experience with her work and wish to deepen their understanding and practice.
Repertory sessions may also be attended as observation sessions for the same registration rate. This option is available to those who would like to study the repertory from the perspective of observation, research, or preparation before participating physically.
The intensive will culminate in a student showing on December 31, offering participants the opportunity to share the work with an audience and experience Duncan’s living legacy on stage.
