Alexandria Davis is an Assistant Professor of Dance and a multi-disciplinary artist whose work as an actress, choreographer, dancer, educator, and screen dance artist explores social commentary and alternative narratives.
Davis’ artistic journey is deeply influenced by her research of dance performance, ritual and technique. Her movement is her story—abstractions of America’s Black History strategically linked to form an ever-evolving tale of myth and culture.
This lecture demonstration is designed for individuals who wish to deepen their understanding of the Dunham Technique as a physical practice, a performance-as-research framework, and a holistic way of life. The Dunham Technique is not just a dance style but a comprehensive approach that integrates the mind, body and spirit, promoting self-discovery and community connection. Participants will engage in an in-depth study of the philosophy behind the Dunham Technique, which includes the principles of self-knowledge, detachment and discrimination. The session will also explore Katherine Dunham’s legacy as a multifaceted artist, anthropologist and humanitarian, as we discuss the impact of her pioneering work in arts activism and dance studies.
