Yolette Yellow-Duke (they/she) has been exploring their love for the arts their entire life. Originally from Brooklyn, they received their MA in dance performance with honors from the London Contemporary Dance School, where they wrote a dissertation examining cultural appropriation in dance and disparities between dancers of color and white dancers. While at LCDS, they trained at RESET 2020 with Wayne McGregor company members and at Gaga Lab in Tel Aviv. Yellow-Duke also trained at the Bates Dance Festival, Movement Research’s MELT Intensive, and the American Dance Festival, where they were a stagecraft apprentice for companies including Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, Ballet Folklorico, Shen Wei Dance Arts, and Pilobolus. As a performer, they have had the pleasure of working with Renegade Performance Group, Johnny Cruise Mercer, Kayla Farrish, J. Bouey, KINESIS PROJECT Dance Theatre, Camilo Godoy, Yun Cheng, and others. Their choreography has premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the HERE Arts Summer Sublet Series, and Movement Research at Judson Church.

“I am honored to have performed at the Performance Mix 37…PMF plays a very inspiring, influential, and unique role in redefining the role of theater and performance art in society. I hope we continue to think about how this festival means so much not only for dance fans/ students, but for art lovers and the general public.”
