MOVE! Women's Rights from Isadora Duncan to NOW

Join the dancers, singers, and actors of Word Dance Theater on a journey through time to explore the historic women’s rights movement and how it inspires us in 2023 to seek greater civic engagement and equity for all populations and particularly women. We will weave Isadora Duncan’s historical dances from the early suffragist period, with contemporary dances created by Duncan dancer and choreographer, Cynthia Word. The Voices of Change Ensemble will sing songs of suffragists then and now, and theatrical scenes, created from historical and contemporary writings of the women’s movement, tell the stories of what has changed and what has not. Each scene will celebrate and build upon the heritage of the women’s rights movement, then and now.
