“The dancer of the future will be one whose body and soul have grown so harmoniously together that the natural language of that soul will have become the movement of the body. The dancer will belong not to nation but to all humanity…” , Isadora Duncan ( 1878 - 1927)
Isadora Duncan, California born, modern dance creator, discovered the dancer’s centre, the solar plexus, as this is closest to our heart and soul, from where we begin to breathe, feel, and move. Her movement vocabulary and innovative technique, choreographies and compositions / studies, encompass Greek mythology, a vast study of art, philosophy and poetry, classical music, the importance of musicality and the observation of nature.
SPEAKING IN MOVEMENT
LEARNING BECOMES NEW AGAIN
“…the truly creative dancer , natural but not immitative, speaking in movement out of oneself, and out of something greater than all selves.”
