Doppelgänger Dance Collective (DDC), co-founded in 2015 by dancers Shura Baryshnikov and Danielle Davidson, fosters the creation and performance of original, contemporary choreographic work for duet performance. Completing each other's movement from the start, they conceived of a performance project that framed or captured this shared duality, their immediate bodily complicity. DDC is the tangible result of these dialogues and showcases a commitment to the inclusion of live music in performance and to the creation of interdisciplinary works. They offer choreographic commissions to a diverse group of artists each season. Furthermore, DDC is committed to public accessibility and service to the community, through mentoring and teaching opportunities, as well as informal showings and presentations.
