KT COLLECTIVE Dance Company is a project-based dance company in Durham, NC. Founded by Kristin Taylor Duncan in 2012, the company produces works that stem from modern, contemporary, and jazz dance techniques. Works are often inspired by sculptures, paintings, and life experiences. The company had its first performance at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, NC. The work Not Myself was commissioned by the museum in response to two artists from the 30 Americans Exhibit (Xaviera Simmons and Purvis Young). Mrs. Taylor Duncan was granted the Ella Fountain Pratt Emerging Artists Grant in the fall of 2012 to produce her first show. Since receiving the grant, the company has been invited to perform throughout the Triangle and Triad. KTC has performed in the NC Dance Festival, at the Nasher Museum (commissioned work), in the 2019 Kwanzaa Celebration of Durham, in the Ernie Barnes Tribute commissioned by the NC Museum of History, for the Creative Healing Parade presented by American Dance Festival, in the Richmond Dance Festival, and with Helen Simoneau Danse and Myra Weiss.
