CJ Donohoe

CJ stands at the center of a studio with beige wooden floors and white walls. They have their leg up as if stepping over a large whole. In between the step is a clamp light on the floor, which is shining at the camera. CJ is wearing a pink tulle dress, the bottom half of which is lit up by a purple hue off camera. Their hands are by their ears as if trying to balance.

Born and raised in Boston and its suburbs, CJ has a deep interest in art accessibility, devised performance, and queering theatre & dance. CJ is a performing artist, early childhood and elementary school dance and acting teacher, and arts administrator particularly interested in community theatre and dance making, performing arts for social change, and k-12 and public free arts education. CJ’s work as an artist and educator centers community and process, and is particularly interested in working with folks who do not necessarily consider themselves a 'dancer', 'performer', or 'artist’, questioning those very understood definitions. CJ uses props, lighting, moment work, sound, and storytelling to create a sensorial experience and devise dance theatre that elicits release, joy, and deep thought in collaborators and audiences.
