Dominique Dauwe

Born in Belgium, Dominique Dauwe started auditioning as a musician for theater productions while studying Piano at The Jazz Studio in Antwerp. During the workshop of a Festival d'Avignon production, he found acting and moved to London to further his career as an actor. Volunteering his time at music programs in London's inner-city schools, he was introduced to Special Needs Education. Here, he shifted his career from the stage to music and sensory rooms around East London Schools, eventually committing to a Special Needs School in Bethnal Green. A teaching colleague introduced him to Jabberwocky, a Non-Profit for people with disabilities on Martha's Vineyard, MA. After years of volunteering at an off-shoot, The Cheshire Project in Venice, CA, he became part of Zeno Mountain Farm in Lincoln, VT. Here, he picked up acting again, encouraged by actor and director friends also volunteering at Zeno Mountain Farm, the subject of the Documentary by Michael Barnett, Becoming Bulletproof (2014)
