The Life and Art of Isadora Duncan

In honor of International Womens History Month, OCA presents a celebration of the life and art of California Native Daughter and legendary dancer Isadora Duncan. Director, solo dancer and Duncan expert Lois Flood (Diablo Dance Theater) movingly interprets the original choreography of Isadora Duncan and her classical aesthetic dance movement. She brings the Mother of Modern dance to dramatic life with flowing classical costumes and historical narration about Isadoras many contributions as a dancer, writer, political activist and revolutionary feminist. These lyrical, dramatic and heroic dances, inspired by natural movement, are set to exquisite classical music by Chopin, Schubert, Gluck, and others. www.diablodancetheater.com
Dont miss this unique dance performance and history lesson about the revolutionary dancer and feminist who boldly rejected the cultural and legal restrictions placed on women in the early 1900s; a subject still relevant today. In the words of Isadora herself:...."to awaken human emotion is the highest level of Art."
