In this dynamic, interactive, movement-based workshop, participants will celebrate the life and work of Katherine Dunham, who revolutionized American dance by creating a technique based on traditional African movement styles into modern dance.
As a dancer, choreographer, scholar, social activist, dance ethnographer, educator, and writer, Dunham’s impact has reverberated far and wide; her codified Dunham technique is taught globally.
Katherine Dunham’s extensive legacy is preserved today by many dancers including Artistic Directors of P.A.K.A. dance (Passing Ancestral Knowledge Along Theatre Dance Company), Dana McBroom-Manno and Patricia Dye, who will share Dunham’s unique dance style and pedagogy with our DEL community.
The course also includes an asynchronous learning module, which will provide access to multiple resources linked to Dunham’s legacy as related to dance education and dance history.
Join us as we celebrate Katherine Dunham’s expansive impact on the fields of dance and dance education.
