SUMMARY:PERFORMANCE | Isadora Duncan in the Theater of Love & War
DESCRIPTION:Isadora Duncan in the Theater of Love and War\nSaturday\, September 6th\, 2025 | 7pm\n Jeanne Bresciani & The Isadora Duncan International Institute Dancers\n  \nWritten & Directed by Jeanne Bresciani\, Artist in Residence \nAssistant Directed by Rosemary Cooper \nRehearsal Direction by Celeste Royo \nCostumes by Janine Stockin\, Karen Sanders & Alicia Mugetti \nOriginal Choreographies by Isadora Duncan \nOriginal Choreographies and Reconstructions by Jeanne Bresciani \n  \nTickets Available Now!\n  \nOn Saturday\, September 6th\, 2025\, Jeanne Bresciani & the Isadora Duncan International Institute Dancers premier a dance-theater production\, entitled Isadora Duncan in the Theater of Love and War at the historic Woodstock Playhouse\, honoring Isadora and the Isadorables’ profound legacy in the iconic artists’ colony and the greater Hudson Valley during WWI. Featuring a rare reconstruction of Duncan choreography to Beethoven’s 7th Symphony\, Allegretto\, alongside new works\, the performance evokes impassioned mission with an urgency surrounding themes of exile\, resilience and the coming of age within nature as sanctuary. Set to music by Schubert\, Chopin\, Tchaikovsky and contemporary composers\, this theater of love and war conjures Duncan’s experimental vision—where art and spirited movement unite to become a language of hope and liberation. In that very landscape and moment of time that once inspired inconsolable and ecstatic Duncan raptures\, the IDII celebrates the timeless power of dance to transcend and transform. \n  \nHistory: \nMany do not know the history of Isadora and the six Isadorables in the States and of their prolonged stays in New York City and within the Hudson Valley during WWI. With Isadora\, better received in Europe than at home\, early in WWI six teenaged girls became her officially adopted children\, along with emergency wartime care of many other homeless\, refugee children from her school in Europe. The Duncan tenure in the States was sustained by the remarkable support and bountiful spirit of American entrepreneurs and their families along the Hudson River. \nThrough this production\, many shall learn of Isadora’s extraordinary force as inspiratrix of an epoch\, iconic in originality and oceanic in scope. She was equally incredible in giving all she possessed\, including her precious long-sought school in France as a hospital for the wounded\, never to be reclaimed. However\, greater still was her leadership drawing forth the United States into WWI with every fiber of her being through startling performances and vivid proclamations to save Europe and civilization itself. From this intense and stirring legacy\, the IDII was founded in 1977 by Maria Theresa Duncan and Kay Bardsley\, of which you are all a vital part\, persisting in its goals educational\, cultural\, philosophical and theatrical. \n  \nTickets Available Now!\nThis project is made possible with funds from the New York State Legislature and administered by Arts Mid-Hudson. \n\nHelp Us Bring the Vision to Life!\n  \nThe Isadora Duncan International Institute is actively seeking sponsors to support the upcoming premiere of Isadora Duncan in the Theater of Love & War\, taking place on September 6\, 2025\, at the Woodstock Playhouse. We welcome both financial contributions and in-kind donations—such as bubbly\, lodging\, catering\, printing\, or services—to help bring this powerful production to life.
