The Dance of da Vinci is an original full-length dance concert inspired by the life and works of Leonardo da Vinci. Choreographer Sonia Plumb explores the artist, inventor and the scientist’s relationship with Renaissance Humanism, a concept based on the beliefs that humans are limitless in their capacity for development if all knowledge is embraced, and that science and art are inextricably entwined.

The Dance of da Vinci is designed to “put the STEAM in STEM.” This exciting work is part of SPDC’s award­-winning arts integration programs for classrooms.  Throughout the creative process, various themes from the work are explored, developed and infused into math and science curriculum for grades 6-12. All curriculum is designed in partnership with key educators to conform with Common Core, National, and State Arts Standards. SPDC delivers these programs through in-school residencies, with a strong focus on underserved audiences who lack access to arts education.
