about the artist
KATHRYNE CASSIS  

Recognized as a leading authority and performer of the Duncan Repertoire, Kathryne Cassis' interpretations and staging of Isadora's dances are exhilarating, richly textured and profoundly moving.   As a Greek American with a background steeped in Greek culture and art, her interpretations of the dances make her unique in the world.   Ms. Cassis’ performances of Isadora's dances have been called “hauntingly powerful, romantic ecstasy,” Jerry Weinstein, Orchesis Review, “a gifted and disarming Isadora Duncan dancer,” Mark Hemeter, Gambit Magazine, “a lyrical and appealing soloist,” Victoria Looseleaf, Los Angeles Times.

In 2003 in Los Angeles, Ms. Cassis won the prestigious Lester Horton Award for Achievement in Dance for her performance and staging of Isadora's dances in Spirit Dances 6.
