DD Dorvillier is a dancer and choreographer born in Puerto Rico in 1967.

Rooted in questions about the relationships between abstraction, physicality, language, perception, meaning, Dorvillier's approach is both conceptual and physical. Her formal pursuits often lead to results charged with unexpected sensibilities, humor, and new questions. After her studies at Bennington College, she moved to New York City in 1989. For a dozen years she lived and worked at The Matzoh Factory in Brooklyn, a loft she transformed with fellow choreographer Jennifer Monson, where they developed their works, and supported the works of others, through cheap rehearsal space and public events. She's received many awards notably a Bessie for her work Dressed for Floating (2002), the Doris Duke Performing Artist Award (2013), The Guggenheim Fellowship (2011), and The Foundation for Contemporary Arts Award (2007).

In 2010 she moved to France. Her work has been shown at venues such as The Kitchen, Danspace Project, PS122, Impulstanz, STUK, Kaaitheater, DeSingel, Künstlerhaus Mousonturm, Hebbel Am Ufer, les Rencontres Chorégraphiques Internationales de Seine-Saint-Denis, L'Atelier de Paris/Carolyn Carlson, among many others.

Her most recent work now on tour is Extra Shapes (2015), a collaboration with composer Sébastien Roux and lighting designer Thomas Dunn. It will be presented this february in Paris at the Centre Pompidou.
