Composer
Domenic Clark composes all her original pieces of music under the pen name of Youell Domenico.
Youell Domenico (Domenic Clark) is a composer and producer of avant-garde theatrical dance productions, consistently combining virtuosic performers and improvisers with haunting/evocative multichannel electronics. Her formal education includes composition degrees both from the University of Toronto and the Koninklijk Conservatorium in the Hague.
Her work has been featured in International Festivals such as Fringe Festival in Toronto, Spring Festival (Den Haag), and presented concert spaces such as the Korzo Theatre, Randolph Theatre, Trinity St. Paul’s Centre, Music Gallery, Array Space, and Theatre Het Spui.
