About the Isadora Duncan International Institute Dancers

Since its founding in 1977, the Isadora Duncan International Institute has created a permanent home for the preservation of Isadora Duncan's dance and philosphy.

Founded by Maria-Theresa Duncan and Kay Bardsley, the Isadora Duncan International Institute has the unique distinction of continuing the direct lineage of Isadora via Maria-Theresa, Isadora Duncan's daughter who danced well into her eighties. From Maria-Theresa, the Isadora Duncan International Institute has been endowed with a choreographic body of work that is considerably larger than other organizations of its kind, and contains diverse works that would otherwise be lost. Many of these pieces represent Isadora Duncan's later works, performed only by the Isadora Duncan International Institute Dancers. Currently, The Isadora Duncan International Institute Dancers, the resident dance company, and the Isadora Duncan for Children™ performing group, both continue Isadora's legacy through performance and preservation of the vast body of work left to the institute by Maria-Theresa Duncan. Under the Artistic Direction of Jeanne Bresciani, Ph.D., Artist-in-Residence, the highly acclaimed adult and children's companies perform nationally and internationally.
