DANCES BY ISADORA reconstructs and reimagines Duncan’s dances for both traditional and alternative venues bringing this work of breath and spirit to life for new audiences. Duncan grew up by the Pacific Ocean in San Francisco and was fascinated by the movement of waves as she began to imagine her vision of dance as an authentic response to nature.
Among the works to be presented is “Grand March” or "Slow March" which was created in 1914 during Isadora's year at Bellevue outside Paris following the tragic deaths of her children in 1913. Originally set to the music of Franz Schubert it has been reimagined with the music of African American composer, George Walker. The program also includes “Prelude" and "Valse Brillante" all created over 100 years ago and kept alive and energized by Dances by Isadora (directed by Catherine Gallant). Dancers are Catherine Gallant, Marie Carstens, Faith Kimberling, Natalia Brillante, Jasmine Oton, Megan Minturn, Jessie King, Anne Parichon-Bouncore, Charlotte Hendrikson and Amelia Sanders.
