Donnie Duncan Jr.

My compelling desire for movement is intertwined with my desire to connect with other human beings. Performing has always been a way for me to have a positive or constructive influence on the viewer, while also being a moment for me to release energy, ask questions and dare I say, get lost in my own processing.

My wish for audience members is that they leave the theatre having felt something new within themselves in response to being a witness. That this witnessing may lead them to welcome new things into their lives, ultimately enriching their experience. I hope to continue contributing to the beauty of live performance and its endless possibilities. – Donnie
