Word Dance Theater

Founded in 2000 by award winning Artistic Director Cynthia Word, Word Dance Theater has created and performed innovative productions in the Washington, D.C. area and beyond.

Word Dance Theater pays homage to Isadora Duncan’s technique, philosophy and revolutionary spirit, pushing the performing arts to new limits. Word Dance Theater brings together some of the best artistic minds in dance, theater, music, and production to create cross-disciplinary works that test the creative boundaries for artists, tells stories of the human spirit, and creates new experiences for audiences.

The company is dedicated to offering a variety of educational opportunities for children and adults in every age and stage of life. We teach knowledge and respect for the body and guide each person to an authentic experience of the joy of dancing. Like Isadora Duncan before us, our school motto is “the highest intelligence in the freest body.”
