During Dunham with , participants in our 2026 Summer Intensive engaged with a tradition that extends far beyond choreography. Rooted in the groundbreaking work of Katherine Dunham, the technique reflects decades of cultural research, artistic innovation, and celebration of the African diaspora.

As artists explored its rhythms and movement vocabulary, they were also invited to consider the histories and communities that shaped them.

At Red Clay Dance Company, we believe that understanding where movement comes from deepens how we embody it and why it matters.
