An immersive and inclusive dance workshop in Athens exploring the expressive foundations of modern movement through the work of Isadora Duncan and François Delsarte, open to dancers of all backgrounds and experience levels.

Where: The Isadora & Raymond Duncan Research Center, 34 Chrysafis Street, 162 32 Byrons, Athens (Greece)

When: April 27-May 9, 2026

Join us for two transformative weeks of intensive study exploring the roots of expressive, natural movement.

Returning to Athens for a third year, Joe Williams and Francesca Todesco offer an immersive and inclusive workshop designed for dancers and movers of diverse backgrounds and experience levels. Whether encountering this work for the first time or deepening an ongoing practice, participants are invited into a supportive environment that values curiosity, exploration, and personal discovery. Members of the Dances We Dance Performing Ensemble will join the process, enriching the experience through shared practice and exchange.

Throughout the workshop, participants engage with the principles of Isadora Duncan and François Delsarte through technique classes, guided movement exploration, and creative process, culminating in a student sharing with the Athens community and dancers from the Isadora and Raymond Duncan Dance Research Center.

Isadora Duncan’s visionary approach—rooted in breath, musicality, and the solar plexus—helped shape modern dance and remains deeply relevant today. Complementing this work, François Delsarte’s expressive system offers tools for understanding gesture, emotional truth, and the connection between inner impulse and outward form, providing a rich foundation for authentic movement and performance.

This workshop is taught in English.
