Now a Company-in-Residence at Connecticut College, David Dorfman Dance was founded in 1987. Dorfman is a native Chicagoan who studied with Daniel Nagrin and toured with the companies of Kei Takei and Susan Marshall. His work was first seen at the Pillow in 1990, and he has served on the Pillow’s faculty and engaged in choreographic residencies onsite. In 2011, he presented Prophets of Funk, inspired by seeing The Family Stone live. He had previously presented the work seen here, Out of Season (The Athletes Project), working with local athletes from a variety of sports (including former New York Yankees pitcher Jim Bouton) to develop the movement. In 2024, Dorfman appeared in (A)Way Out of My Body described as “a meditation on the frailty and power of the body.”
