He has been called "a master of his art." Doty stresses that his performances are for people of all ages. "Children delight in the adventures of Coyote and Dear and Crow," he says. "Adults look beyond the narrative to see what the stories offer a world searching for solutions." Dots performances are staged simply without sets, props or masks. They come alive with movements, gestures, expressions, voices, and words. For three summers Doty wrote, co-directed and performed in the Univer sity of MinnesotaSouthern Oregon State College productions of Dancing Through Dreamtime, a Native storytelling and modern dance project. He has performed at the Oregon Shakespearean Festival's Daedalus Project, and for ten years he performed and taught in Oregon's Arts in Education program.
