Marlee Doniff has been dancing for the past two decades. Her relationship to the art form manifests in many ways — education, performance, choreography, research, and arts administration. She graduated from Webster University in December of 2023 with a BA in Dance. Her senior thesis, “That’s so Gay… Gender and Sexuality Representation in Concert Dance and Why it Matters'' was chosen to be presented at the college-wide research summit. Marlee started working at CKDC in August of 2023. She is a passionate educator who hopes to ignite creativity and aid in student’s discovery of their artistic voice. Marlee is curious about creating authentic, vulnerable, bold movement and exploring the ways the body processes. Outside of her work with the company, Marlee serves as the Festival Company Manager for the American Dance Festival.
