Women of Today in Memory of Women of the Past
A tribute to Isadora and her dancers

Isadora Duncan var en visionär och en nytänkande konstnär. Hon verkade i sin samtid men hade en dröm om framtidens dansare. Isadora föreställer sig en ny kvinna, befriad från alla bojor. På Weld samlas nu åtta dansare med helt skilda bakgrund. Det som förenar dem är att de som barn tillsammans utövat Isadora Duncans danskonst och finner fortsatt inspiration och glädje i detta arbete. Dessa kvällar visas en rad olika koreografiska verk av Duncan, dels i original, dels i rekonstruerad form.

The dancer of the future will be one whose body and soul have grown so harmoniously to-gether that the natural language of that soul will become the movement of the body. The dancer will not belong to a nation but to all humanity. / Isadora Duncan

THE DUNCAN PROJECT
är en grupp som arbetar med Isadora Duncans danskonst under ledning av Kathleen Quinlan och Lilly Zetterberg. Många av dansarna började redan som barn i Lilla Baletten, vilken Kathleen startade 1993 i syfte att bevara den tradition som hon själv fått i arv. I lilla Baletten fick de lära sig Isadora Duncans teknik och koreografi och nu fortsätter dessa dansare att utvecklas i Duncans kul-turararv, som en del av en levande tradition. I denna tradition finns ett systerskap som vi lägger märke till, som går ända tillbaka till Isadora och hennes Entrourage samt de sex ”Isadorables”.

Dansare i The Duncan Project: Lilly Zetterberg, Amelie Borg, Hanna Blomqvist, Vilma Sahlberg, Gabriella Palmstierna Einars-son, Elsa Presto, Astrid Tomani Ridder, Aino Eriksson Jarrick.

Women of Today in Memory of Women of the Past
A tribute to Isadora and her dancers

Isadora Duncan was a visionary and an innovative artist. She worked in her own time but had a dream of the dancers of the future. Isadora imagined a new woman, freed from all constraints. Eight dancers from completely different backgrounds are now gathering at Weld. What unites them is that, as children, they practised Isadora Duncan’s dance art together and continue to find inspiration and joy in this work. These evenings will feature a range of different choreographic works by Duncan, some in their original form and others reconstructed.

The dancer of the future will be one whose body and soul have grown so harmoniously to-gether that the natural language of that soul will become the movement of the body. The dancer will not belong to a nation but to all humanity. / Isadora Duncan

THE DUNCAN PROJECT
The Duncan project is a performing group for Duncan dancers in the art of Isadora Duncan. Under the direction of Kathleen Quinlan and Lilly Zetterberg. Many of these dancers started as children in the children’s dance company Lilla Baletten. Kathleen started Lilla Baletten 1993 in order to maintain the tradition. In Lilla Baletten they learned the technique and choreography of Isadora Duncan and now these dancers continue to develop in the Duncan Heritage.

There is a Sisterhood in the tradition of Duncan dance that we acknowledge. Going back to Isadora and her Entourage and the six “Isadorables .” This dance is a living tradition.

Dancers of the Duncan project:  Lilly Zetterberg, Amelie Borg, Hanna Blomqvist, Vilma Sahlberg, Gabriella Palmstierna Einarsson, Elsa Presto, Astrid Tomani Ridder, Aino Eriksson Jarrick.
