About This Certificate Program I

In Isadora Duncan & The Art of Ecstasy: In Creation of Festival, this inner conjoined journey takes off via Zoom from the intimacy and enclosure of our own homes in preparation as if in rite of purification to great purpose. We recognize Isadora, who attendant to the great tutelary spirits of the ancients, became a vital force behind the first reinstatement of the Delphic Games in the early 20th century. We travel speaking Isadora’s language of guardianship, traversing her footsteps, reaffirming her Delphic imprint and fortifying the medium of festival.  Our movements hone from mythos as if carved from stones of ancestors that each might be part of the art of ecstasy, at once indwelling and revelatory.

We identify motifs most Greek in her oeuvre and look to the images that informed her holistic perspective giving us the profound congruence that is the art of Isadora from essence to execution. Excavating Duncan’s technique from ancient models, we set the stage in preparation for solo and group performances on the varying stages of Delphi.  We constellate the original Duncan dances as infused by the Greek fire of life in solo and group forms to be performed at the differing stages of Delphi. We amass the many contemporary IDII dances to the music of Greek and modern composers making one and whole an event tracing from primordial waters of creation forward. Coursing through ages, like muses through time, our destination remains here, now, mythic – and beyond unto the full blown Games of a Delphic future.
