Marcos Duran is a dancer and lecturer at San Diego City College and UC San Diego, and a recipient of a Far South/Border North artist grant for 2023-2024.
It was 1998 and Marcos Duran was a 14-year-old high school freshman in San Jose, in a student body of nearly 4,000 students. On this particular day in the school’s main gym, he watched a group of 30 dancers perform to a student crowd screaming school spirit chants. “I remember having a visceral gut reaction to this massive choreography down on the gym floor. I wanted more than anything to be able to join them,” he says.
Whether it is north, south, east, or west, I can travel with relative ease, especially since I am a 10-minute walk from the trolley. It is also nice to get on my bike and trek to the beach along the San Diego River. Q: What is it about dance that you were initially drawn to as your preferred form of creative expression, over something like singing or painting? A: My first love was coloring and drawing, then voraciously reading books, and then thousands of hours studying movies.
