Join the Kansas City Canaries for our next workshop focusing on Katherine Dunham!
As a team we believe that cost should never be a barrier to dance. That's why our quarterly workshops are “Pay What You Can”.
This workshop aims to provide an exploration of Katherine Dunham's legacy through movement, history, and more guided by Megan!
Katherine Dunham was a trailblazing dancer, choreographer, anthropologist, and activist who revolutionized American dance. With passion and vision, she infused Caribbean, African, and American influences into her craft, creating the world-renowned “Dunham Technique,” a style that continues to inspire dancers globally. As a cultural ambassador, she fearlessly championed the beauty of African American heritage and pioneered dance anthropology as an academic field. Her groundbreaking research on Caribbean and Brazilian dance shattered barriers, bringing vibrant new influences into a traditionally Eurocentric dance world. Beyond performance, Dunham was a fierce humanitarian, using dance as a tool for social justice, racial equality, and empowerment. Her legacy is one of bold innovation, unshakable activism, and artistic brilliance.
