The unique opportunity of participation in a Dunham Technique Seminar is
open to all professional dancers, educators, students, historians, youth
ages 6 18 years, adults, musicians and Dunham admirers. From July 26 to
August 3 on the campus of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville,
Illinois, the following methodologies will be implemented: synchronized
Dunham rhythms (percussion) with basic movements, purging technique with
those presently certified so that consistency exists and all classes will
flow in a logical uniformity. These adjustments will also meet the new
standards for cultural diversity.
The 2008 Dunham Seminar will focus on the Haitian and Cuban
influence on the evolution of Dunham Technique and the beginnings of the
Dunham Legacy. Two primitive rhythm classes will also be a part of the
curriculum for the children workshops and Dunham Technique Classes, levels
I, II; Dunham Repertory and Percussion will be available to all participants
during the 25th Annual International Dunham Seminar. Mr. Vanoye Aiken and
Dr. Glory Van Scott, both vital members of the Dunham Legacy will provide
instruction with other renowned Master and Certified Instructors such as
Theo Jamison, Ruby Streate, Keith Williams and James Belk, I. A special
lecture/panel discussion will also be offered during the International
Dunham Seminar.
