About the American Dance Festival Founded in 1934 in Bennington, Vermont, with choreographers Martha Graham, Hanya Holm, Doris Humphrey, and Charles Weidman, the Festival serves professional and pre-professional dancers from around the world. The site of 641 premieres, the Festival plays a critical role in increasing the repertories of companies through its commissions and reconstructions; what is seen at the ADF is ultimately seen by audiences throughout the world. Hailed by The Wall Street Journal as “the most important gathering of modern dance professionals and students in America,� the ADF School provides world-class instruction to hundreds of dance enthusiasts.

Durham and Duke University The ADF is held for six weeks each summer at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. The studios and student dormitories are spread across the Georgian-style campus. Performances by visiting dance companies occur in the Durham Performing Arts Center in downtown Durham and Reynolds Industries Theater at Duke. ADF students are able to use Duke facilities such as swimming pools, tennis courts, bookstores, libraries, and computer labs. The grounds of the University include the formal Sarah P. Duke Gardens and the Nasher Museum of Art. Durham is easily accessible by car, bus, train, and plane (Raleigh/Durham Airport is located approximately 18 miles away).

Performing Companies An essential component of the student experience during the summer is the opportunity to see some of the best modern dance companies performing today. Full-time Six Week School, Three Week School, and Dance Professionals Workshop participants will receive a complimentary ticket to one performance by each visiting company in the ADF performance series. At press time, the 2012 line-up has not been announced. Please check the ADF website in the spring for more information.

At the heart of ADF is the Six Week School (6WS), where dancers from around the country and around the world come to train and to create, to see, and to be seen.

Students of all levels are invited to engage in collaborative creative processes with ADF’s diverse and outstanding faculty, extraordinary musicians, and vibrant student body. Full-time 6WS students must attend for all six weeks, taking three two-hour classes a day, on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Students are able to create and personalize their own 6WS schedule, choosing from approximately 40 daily classes. Available courses will include Contemporary Technique, Composition, Improvisation, Repertory, Ballet, African Technique, Voice & Gesture, and Hip Hop. The minimum age for application to the 6WS is 16. Students under 18 will live in a supervised dorm.

Part-time 6WS students may take one or two classes for the six weeks. Part-time students are not eligible for ADF financial aid or complimentary tickets to ADF performances.

WFSS

6WS classes are supplemented by the WFSS (pronounced woofs) classes that are designed to inform and enhance the regular schedule.

They allow students the opportunity to explore individualized interests, cross train in various body therapies and somatic work, or participate in special projects. The WFSS schedule also includes open showings, video screenings, panels, and discussions. WFSS classes meet on Wednesdays, Friday evenings, Saturdays, and Sundays, and are offered on a regular as well as a drop-in basis.

Only full time 6WS students take part in WFSS.

6WS Preview Weekend

Students should arrive on Thursday, June 14 by 3 pm to complete check in. 6WS orientation will take place before dinner on Thursday. There will then be five days set aside (Friday, June 15–Tuesday, June 19) for convocation, preview classes, repertory and Footprints auditions, faculty advising, and class registration.

Students attend preview classes in leveled groups. Your group level will be determined by instructor evaluation forms that are a part of the ADF application packet. When asking teachers to fill out your evaluation forms, please indicate to them that they are important in placing you in an appropriate preview group.

Technique “How do dancers practice technique in 2012? This fundamental question is both asked and answered at the ADF. Vigorous dialogue regarding the study of dance technique is embedded in the very fabric of the program.

The importance of technique class is apparent in many ways at the ADF: the careful and unique arrangement of the daily and weekly schedule, the vast array of techniques and practices from which the student can choose, and the diversity and professionalism of the faculty who teach the courses.” -Brenda Daniels Composition “Composition classes at ADF are designed to challenge students of choreography.

Faculty engage students with the urgent question of how do we make dance today in relationship to the world in which we live. Traditional approaches to choreography and new ideas from within the field of dance creation are introduced. These classes become research centers of imaginative thinking and embodied experimentation. Choreographic strategies are tested; the boundaries of the art form of dance are stretched. Ultimately, students leave the ADF charged with information that can help to move both their own choreographic work and the field of dance forward.” - Jesse Zaritt Improvisation “The purpose of improvisation

classes at the ADF is to engage students in an exploration of their creativity. There are skills and techniques of improvisation, and the various classes will investigate several of them.

These include releasing technique, contact improvisation, improvisation with speaking while moving, improvisation in site specific situations, Improvisation Technologies, etc. In some situations this improvisation work will be an end unto itself, and sometimes it will be used as a compositional tool to lead each student to find his or her unique choreographic voice. There will also be a weekly improvisation jam where students can practice their skills in a safe and supportive environment.” -Ishmael Houston-Jones

Repertory “Inhabiting a work as either an interpreter or a collaborator is one of the most fulfilling experiences of a dancer’s training. In repertory, you get to breathe a work of art to life again. In a new creation, your collaborative presence affects the work’s outcome. In both instances, you get to work closely with a group of peers, know a choreographic process, and share your work with the ADF community.” -Mark Haim Footprints 6WS students will have the opportunity to audition for ADF’s Footprints program. Students chosen to perform in a Footprints piece will have the chance to study intensively with an emerging choreographer to create a new work for the full 6 weeks.

Footprints gives students a chance to experience working within a professional dance company environment. They will also have the rare opportunity to perform on ADF’s main stage (Reynolds Industries Theater) as a fully produced part of the ADF performance series during the last week of the festival. The 2012 Footprints artists will be announced in the spring; check the ADF website for more information.

Three Week School for Young Dancers July 7 — 28

Directed by Ursula Payne and Pamela Pietro Faculty: Elizabeth Corbett, Teena Custer, Sherone Price, Sara Procopio, additional guest faculty TBA The Three Week School (3WS) is a program designed specifically for the training and education of dancers from the ages of 12-16.

The faculty has a committed interest in working with this particular age group and are experienced and dedicated artists in the field. The focus of the program is to provide excellent training in a supportive and nurturing environment, while introducing younger dancers to the range and diversity of the dance profession today. Students take four classes a day, four days a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday). These classes include Contemporary Technique, Ballet, Hip Hop, African Technique, Composition, and Repertory. Students will be placed in appropriate levels during the first few days of classes. They have the opportunity to attend performances by outstanding national and international dance companies and to participate in master classes, museum trips, panel discussions, and specially planned activities on Wednesdays and weekends. The 3WS provides an exciting opportunity to grow as a dancer both technically and artistically and to enjoy the amazing and inspiring creative energy of the ADF.

Housing 3WS students will live in an air-conditioned dormitory on Duke’s East Campus. These are double rooms, although in special circumstances single rooms are available on a limited basis.

Experienced counselors will live in the dormitory with the students. A curfew and lights-out policy will be enforced. 3WS students who live in the area have the option to commute from home.

Meals will be provided by Duke University Food Service. For students staying in the dormitories, the

cost for three meals a day is included in the 3WS room/board fee. Commuting students may purchase a Lunch Meal Plan that allows them to eat meals in the cafeteria while they are on campus.

Supervision Outside of class, students will be well supervised by carefully selected counselors.

Three Week School tuition includes the cost of all classes, tickets to performances during the three weeks, special clothing for the African Dance class, and extra curricular activities (in 2011 some of the 3WS activities included the Eno River Festival, arts & crafts, movies, and indoor rock climbing).

HU/ADF MFA Program This innovative 60-credit MFA program offers students an opportunity to immerse themselves for six weeks of the summer in the international, collaborative community of the American Dance Festival, followed by an intimate learning atmosphere at Hollins University and abroad.

Few graduate programs can provide students with such imaginative approaches to thinking about dance, along with such a wide range of experiences and opportunities, mentorships, and exposure to others in the international dance field.

The program offers a flexible, yet rigorous, course of study. Using the resources of both institutions, the program offers three tracks: Year Residency Track is for highly motivated students with a strong interest in expanding their knowledge and experience, especially in their creative work, in an uninterrupted way.

Low Residency Track – Two Summer is designed for mid-career artists, teachers, and dance professionals.

For two-summer acceptance, applicants must be mature working artists with at least 10 years of experience.

Accomplished, nationally recognized candidates may receive up to 12 credits for professional experience.

Low Residency Track – Three Summer is designed for emerging artists, teachers, and dance professionals. This course of study is mapped over three summers to allow for an extended immersion in intellectual and creative experiences. This track is for highly motivated professionals seeking to substantiate their portfolio as they develop their professional careers.

For sample classes offered in each track, see www.hollins.edu/mfadance.

International Residencies: For a portion of the fall or spring term, Year Residency students travel to dance centers throughout the world participating in mentored studio time, the facilitation of a program of creative work, study, discussions, and readings. As part of these in-depth cultural exchanges, students are able to present their work in professional venues while immersing themselves in specially designed study tracks and attending dance concerts. Students study with members of the thriving international professional and academic communities. These residencies open pathways that create lifelong relationships and opportunities. Past residencies have taken place in France, Austria, and Belgium.

Hollins University/ American dance Festival MFA in Dance

PostBaccalaureate Certificate As students complete their undergraduate degrees and prepare for a professional career in dance or graduate study, the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate (PBC) offers a year of time, support, and networking. The program is ideal for students who want to immerse themselves in a focused work environment that has a direct professional relationship to choreography, performance, and portfolio development.

BA/BFA Program A combined BA/BFA is also available.

Dance faculty members make up a diverse artistic community whose mission is to create an atmosphere in which students and faculty learn alongside one another to expand and deepen their relationship to dance and to the world. Resident faculty members are augmented by visiting faculty and guest artists as well as by a core of adjunct faculty and mentors who reflect a wide range of interests and experiences.

Physical Therapy Participants in all programs will have access to Duke University physical therapists at no additional cost.

Academic Credit Academic credit is available to qualified high school graduates or rising high school seniors. Duke University records undergraduate academic progress in terms of course credit. For purposes of transfer, a full course load (3 6WS classes plus WFSS) is equivalent to a total of eight semester hours or two course credits. Credit for work completed is subject to the approval of your institution’s registrar or admissions officer. Individuals who have completed all requirements for the BA or BS degree may request advanced-level credit, in which case their transcripts will bear one or more 200-level, graduate course numbers. Students enrolled in Duke Summer Session for academic credit may request one or more copies of their official transcript from Duke University, not ADF, upon successful completion of their course work. A $40 transcript fee will be charged to any student who wishes to receive academic credit.

This one-time fee allows students to receive academic credit for any future year that they attend ADF, along with unlimited free copies of their Duke University transcript.

Flex Account Participants in the Six Week School and Three Week School also have the option to open a Flex account, either in addition to the ADF Meal Plan or alone. This is a declining balance account to which funds may be added at any time during the student’s time on campus. The Flex account can be used in the East Campus Union’s Marketplace, East/Central Campus stores, vending machines, and laundry facilities — greatly reducing the need to carry cash. Beginning June 14 (6WS Check-In Day) participants may open a flex account, adding funds in $25 increments, with a $100 minimum, through the DukeCard Office using cash, check, or debit card. The DukeCard Office does not accept credit cards. Refunds will be processed by the DukeCard Office during September 2012. Refunds will not be available for balances under $5.00.
