Beyond The Fog Radio: Interview with Antoine Hunter
Channel: Beyond The Fog Radio
Date: 2022-06-24

Antoine Hunter, also known as Purple Fire Crow, is an award-winning deaf African-Indigenous dancer, producer, and choreographer. He’s the founder and artistic director of both the Urban Jazz Dance Company and the Bay Area International Deaf Dance Festival.

Mr. Hunter studied dance at the California Institute of the Arts and the Paul Taylor Dance School in New York City. Deafness allows Mr. Hunter to experience music somatically, thus connecting him more deeply with the visual communication that dance offers. In doing so, he uniquely cultivates a universal language through which he expresses his experience with exceptional artistry.

Mr. Hunter has performed with some of the Bay Area’s most well-known dance companies, and is currently faculty at the East Bay Center for the Performing Arts, the Shawl-Anderson Dance Center, and Dance A Vision Entertainment. His intuition for dance has helped him to bridge the deaf and hearing communities. Upon meeting him, we knew that we were in the company of someone very special.
