Dear Friends, Central to ADF’s mission is the commissioning of new work and supporting artists throughout their careers. This summer, we are thrilled to open the season with Shen Wei Dance Arts, celebrating the 15th anniversary of their founding at ADF, with a new commission and 2001 ticket prices.

We welcome back Bill T. Jones, Doug Varone, Paul Taylor, and Pilobolus. We also look forward to sharing 16 ADF debuts, as well as 4 creative art pairings—duets commissioned for and performed by 8 outstanding choreographers. If that isn’t enough, we are privileged to share the talents of our students in the Footprints program, the artistry of our faculty in the Faculty Concert, and the skills of our musicians in the the Musicians Concert.

Are you ready to travel around town with ADF this summer to 6 Durham destinations over 45 days? ADF and dance are going to light up the town.

My best,

Jodee Nimerichter ADF Director

MAJOR SUPPORT FOR ADF’S 2015 PERFORMANCE SEASON PROVIDED BY:

SHS Foundation

ADF COMMISSION DURHAM PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

Thursday, June 11 | 7:00pm Friday, June 12 | 8:00pm Saturday, June 13 | 7:00pm 2001 ticket prices to celebrate 15th Anniversary!

Shen Wei Dance Arts will kick off the 2015 season with Map (2005) and the ADF-commissioned UNTITLED #12-2 (2015).

The company, founded at ADF in 2000, is celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of producing dazzling works that draw on influences as varied as traditional Chinese culture and arts, European surrealism, American high modernism, and the ritual power of ancient drama. Map, restaged in 2014, now includes a stunning set design with seven immense balloons. Four are globe-shaped and three are cuboid.

All are covered with mysterious notations to suggest maps or paths. Set to selections from Steve Reich’s The Desert Music, Map is a glorious exploration of movement possibilities.

UNTITLED #12-2 began in Miami at Art Basel where Shen Wei’s paintings provided the inspiration and environment for a dance piece for 12 dancers. The dancers’ movements brought them into abstract compositions that mirrored the paintings surrounding the dance. For ADF, Shen Wei transfers this piece to the stage and expands it beyond the original Miami presentation. With lighting co-designed by Shen Wei and Christina Watanabe and video by Rocco DiSanti, UNTITLED #12-2 promises to be an extraordinary addition to his repertory.

UNTITLED #12-2 is commissioned by ADF with support from the SHS Foundation and the Charles L. and Stephanie Reinhart Fund.

ADF DEBUT REYNOLDS INDUSTRIES THEATER

Sunday, June 14-Tuesday, June 16 | 8:00pm Los Angeles-based BODYTRAFFIC, named one of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch” in 2013, is an internationally acclaimed contemporary repertory dance company known for presenting today’s most distinctive choreographic voices. BODYTRAFFIC’s performances are inspiring, accessible, challenging, and full of joy.

Barak Marshall’s And at midnight, the green bride floated through the village square … (2012) is a dark comedy based in part on a true story about a family who were neighbors of the choreographer’s mother’s family in Yemen and how jealousy doomed all nine of the family’s children to a life filled with anger and loneliness. Once again, before you go (2015) by Victor Quijada, known for blending ballet with break dancing, is a work full of rippling, gliding, and shifting movements.

Richard Siegal’s O2Joy (2012) is an exuberant piece set to American jazz music.

ADF’s presentation of BODYTRAFFIC’s Once again, before you go by Victor Quijada is made possible by the New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, with additional support from the National Endowment for the Arts.

ADF COMMISSIONED WORLD PREMIERES DURHAM PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

Thursday, June 18 & Friday, June 19| 8:00pm Saturday, June 20 | 7:00pm Children’s Saturday Matinee | 1:00pm This performance contains nudity.

Making its annual summer pilgrimage to ADF, Pilobolus presents the ADF-commissioned world premiere of Thresh|Hold (2015). Created in collaboration with the Olivier Award-winning Venezuelan choreographer Javier de Frutos, Thresh|Hold is a physically daring quintet that takes us through the labyrinthine mind of a young woman as she confronts lost love. Fragmented memories burst back and forth through a moving door, catching us in an experience at once raging and tender, desolate and intimate. [esc] (2013), the result of a collaboration with masters of trickery Penn & Teller, is the ultimate piece of gripping, do-not-try-this-at-home choreography. Fantasy, athleticism, strength, confinement, fetters, and escape are all at play in this tantalizing work.

Day Two (1981) evokes a tribal atmosphere on the second day of the creation of the world, from its earliest forms of life to the moment at which creatures of the earth take flight into the air. Set to a soundtrack from Brian Eno and Talking Heads, Day Two captures the awe of evolution and the wonder of existence. The company also presents an additional ADFcommissioned world premiere.

Thresh/Hold and [New Work] are commissioned by ADF with support from the Doris Duke/SHS Foundations Award for New Dance.

ADF DEBUT REYNOLDS INDUSTRIES THEATER

Sunday, June 21-Tuesday, June 23 | 8:00pm Heidi Latsky, former dancer with Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company and known for using conventional and unexpected performers, presents Triptych. The program consists of the works Solo Countersolo (2013), Somewhere (2013), and a dance created especially for film. Solo Countersolo features Heidi as the counterpoint to the ensemble, weaving through a landscape of vigorously moving bodies to a score by British composer Chris Brierley. Somewhere, with original music by Ximena Borges, is a series of intimate movement portraits that highlight the luminous appeal of a diverse unconventional cast. The third part of Triptych consists of a film that poetically interweaves ten movement portraits that embrace difference and the inherent isolation of being human with fierceness and frankness.

4 ADF DEBUTS ADF REYNOLDS INDUSTRIES THEATER

Thursday, June 25 7:00pm and 9:00pm ADF and the NC Dance Festival (NCDF) are delighted to co-present four dance works by North Carolina choreographers. Selected by nationally recognized choreographers Carl Flink, Beth Gill, and Rosie Herrera, the works of the four chosen artists celebrate dance being created here and now, at home in North Carolina.

Anna Barker will present excerpts from it’s not me it’s you (2014), an evening-length duet made up of a series of dance-theater vignettes exploring the idiosyncrasies of relationships. Dedicated to [ ] because of [ ] (and vice versa) (2007) by Shaleigh Comerford is a complex dance theater work that explores the deeply personal and cultural landscape of gender and violence. Kristen Jeppsen Groves’ [ME]thod (2011) defines the complicated relationships of policy players and highlights the power dynamics involved in policy language, history, and current challenges within policy. The duet ...dann von Deiner Hand from Karola Luttringhaus’ larger work Inertia - Remembering the Holocaust (2008) is about love and its defense in the face of social and political oppression.

DURHAM PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

Friday, June 26 | 8:00pm Saturday, June 27 | 7:00pm Children’s Saturday Matinee at 1:00pm Acclaimed by critics for its exceptionally emotional performances, Noche Flamenca is one of the most authentic flamenco companies performing today, and Soledad Barrio is its star. Soledad Barrio and Noche Flamenca present Antigona (2014), an evening-length flamenco interpretation of the text and themes in Sophocles’ tragedy, Antigone. The themes in the work include catharsis, issues of dictatorship, repression, loss, the strength of family, and female empowerment. Combining live music, song, and dance, the work promises to be both gripping and intensely moving.

ADF’s presentation of Soledad Barrio and Noche Flamenca’s Antigona is made possible by the New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, with additional support from the National Endowment for the Arts.

ADF DEBUT MOTORCO MUSIC HALL

Saturday, June 27 | 9:00pm Sunday, June 28-Wednesday, July 1 | 7:00 & 9:00pm Mature audiences recommended due to language.

Gregory Dolbashian, Jordan Isadore, and Deborah Lohse present Awkward Magic, a racy evening of pop culture-infused dance theater consisting of unique and attention grabbing segments. Story telling, technically strong dance, and song may take you out of your comfort zone, but you will be thoroughly entertained every step of the way. Bring your friends. Enjoy a drink. Make yourself happy.

ADF COMMISSIONED WORLD PREMIERES | ADF DEBUT REYNOLDS INDUSTRIES THEATER

Monday, June 29-Wednesday, July 1 | 8:00pm What happens when you pair up some of today’s hottest choreographers to create new duets that they themselves will dance? You get Dynamic Duos! Superheroes! Larry Keigwin & Rosie Herrera, Mark Haim & Jesse Zaritt, Chris Yon & Taryn Griggs, and Claire Porter & Sara Juli were given the task of putting their creative heads together to produce and perform works that would be like no other. Expect to be amazed. Expect the unexpected. Expect a one-of-a-kind evening of dance!

The new duets are commissioned by ADF with support from the Doris Duke/ SHS Foundations Award for New Dance. Additional support provided by The Mary Duke Biddle Foundation.

DURHAM PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

Thursday, July 2 & Friday, July 3 | 8:00pm Saturday, July 4 Matinee at 2:00pm Paul Taylor Dance Company will be back to present the classic work Esplanade (1975). Set to Bach and based on everyday movement: walking, running, jumping, and sliding, the dance remains as daringly exuberant and eloquent today as the day it premiered. Syzygy (1987), set to Donald York’s abstract, pulsating score, is a virtuosic work that explodes with cartwheels, leaps, and meteoric spins. The title refers to the nearly straight line configuration of three or more celestial bodies. Another classic work TBA will round out the program.

US PREMIERE | ADF DEBUT REYNOLDS INDUSTRIES THEATER

Tuesday, July 7-Thursday, July 9 | 8:00pm In the US premiere of the duet Monchichi (2011), a Frenchman with Spanish parents (SĂŠbastien Ramirez) and a German woman with a Korean mother (Honji Wang) present a dance of alienation and the search for identity and love. A couple both on stage and in real life, their dance backgrounds could hardly be more contrasting. While Ramirez was a B-boy, Wang was classically trained, but they share a love of other dance styles and a great interest in experimentation. Through the exploration of cultural influences, they create a new language, a virtuosic, poetic, and humorous delight.

ADF performances of Company Wang Ramirez funded in part by FUSED: French U.S. Exchange in Dance, a program of the New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Dance Project, the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the United States, and FACE (French American Cultural Exchange), with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, with additional funding from the Florence Gould Foundation.

CORDOBA CENTER FOR THE ARTS

Tuesday, July 7-Sunday, July 12 | 7:00pm Eiko (who has danced for the past 40 years with her husband and creative partner Koma as the duo Eiko & Koma) is for the first time expanding into the realm of solo artist in A Body in Places. Central to A Body in Places is Eiko’s drive to explore nontraditional venues and respond to the innate characteristics of the specific place. The solo will be performed for very intimate audiences.

These mini performances will offer a strange and intense experience that invites, almost forces, the viewer’s gaze to engage the performer’s gaze.

Performing as a soloist, Eiko willfully partners with the particularities of places and viewers. This work also includes the photo exhibition A Body in Fukushima with photographs by William Johnston of Eiko in radiation-affected Fukushima. The photo exhibit takes place at Reynolds Industries Theater (June 14-July 25), Pleiades Gallery (June 14-July 25), and the Allenton Gallery and Semans Gallery at the Durham Arts Council (July 3-July 25).

DURHAM PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

Friday, July 10 | 8:00pm Saturday, July 11 | 7:00pm Bill T. Jones with Associate Artistic Director Janet Wong and his company present Analogy/Dora: Tramontane, the first of three new evening-length works from Analogy: A Trilogy. The trilogy brings into light the different types of war we fight and, in particular, the war within ourselves.

Analogy/Dora: Tramontane is based on an oral history Jones conducted with 94-year old Dora Amelan, a French Jewish nurse and social worker. Amelan’s harrowing, touching, and inspirational story is broken into approximately 25 episodes that become the basis for choreography and songs. These episodes chronicle her early life in Belgium, her mother’s death as the Germans were marching into Belgium, and her experiences working at an underground Jewish organization in Vichy France’s internment camps, Gurs and Rivesaltes. This is a portrait of the ability to persevere and survive.

REYNOLDS INDUSTRIES THEATER

Sunday, July 12-Tuesday, July 14 | 8:00pm Recognized by the New York Times as one of the top ten dance favorites of 2013, Dabke (2012) is based on a Middle Eastern folk dance, a line dance often performed at weddings, holidays, and community celebrations. The dance strongly references solidarity, and traditionally only men participated. The dancers, linked by hands or shoulders, stomp the ground with complex rhythms, emphasizing their connection to the land. Artistic Director Zvi Gotheiner grew up on a kibbutz in Israel where Friday nights were folk dance nights. One of the most beloved of these dances was a Debka, an Israeli rendition of the Arab Dabke.

ADF performances of ZviDance are supported by The Consulate General of Israel to the Southeast Region.

ADF DEBUT THE CAROLINA THEATRE

Wednesday, July 15 & Thursday, July 16 | 8:00pm ADF and The Carolina Theatre co-present Ballet Folklórico Cutumba performing Roots and Cuban Tradition. Based in Santiago de Cuba in the eastern province of Oriente and founded in 1960, Ballet Folklórico Cutumba is undoubtedly one of Cuba’s most vibrant folkloric dance companies. Making their ADF debut, Cutumba performs Afro-Cuban-Franco-Haitian folkloric and popular dance, music, and song, ranging from gagá to son, celebrating the cultural melting pot that is Cuba. With vibrant colors and action-packed theatrics, this is a show that is fully charged, from beginning to end.

Saturday, July 18 | 7:00pm

This special event is for one night only.

This American Life host Ira Glass has been working with Monica Bill Barnes & Company to invent a show that combines two art forms that, as Glass puts it, “have no business being together— dance and radio.” One is all words and no visuals.

One is all visuals and no words. The result is a funny, lively, and very talky evening of dance and stories.

“What makes it work,” says Glass “is a shared sensibility.

As dancers, Monica Bill Barnes and Anna Bass are these amazingly relatable and funny storytellers without words.”

ADF COMMISSIONED WORLD PREMIERES | 2 ADF DEBUTS REYNOLDS INDUSTRIES THEATER

Tuesday, July 21-Thursday, July 23 | 8:00pm Footprints delivers an outstanding presentation of three ADFcommissioned world premieres by groundbreaking artists, performed with impeccable technique and infectious energy by ADF students.

Minnesota-based choreographer Wynn Fricke, recipient of seven McKnight Fellowships in Choreography and Performance, produces, according to Alternative Energy, precise and virtuosic work “guided by extremes of physicality. Part of the pleasure of watching it is that the difficult appears effortless; the tiny and delicate, Herculean.”

Soweto-born Gregory Maqoma blew audiences away at his ADF debut in 2014. Maqoma is an internationally renowned dancer, choreographer, teacher, director, and scriptwriter. Through his signature integration of traditional and contemporary dance, Maqoma invites audiences to reflect on who we are, where we come from, and how all of these facets, past and present, inform our personal and collective identities today. The primacy of the moving body and detailed attention to embodied presence is at the center of Anna Sperber’s work. Brookyn-based Sperber believes in the poetic potency of choreography and its potential to access a visceral level of transformation in perception as it affects our emotional and psychological states.

Wynn Fricke [New Work] is commissioned by ADF with support from the McKnight Artist Fellowship Program at Northrop at the University of Minnesota and the SHS Foundation.

ADF COMMISSIONED WORLD PREMIERE DURHAM PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

Friday, July 24 | 8:00pm Saturday, July 25 | 7:00pm Children’s Saturday Matinee | 1:00pm Since its founding in 1986, Doug Varone and Dancers has commanded attention for its expansive vision, versatility, and technical prowess.

From the smallest gesture to fullthrottle bursts of movement, Varone’s work can take your breath away. In ReComposed (2015), co-commissioned

by ADF and the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, he creates a dance inspired by American abstract artist Joan Mitchell’s pastel drawings. Mitchell used gestural, sometimes violent brush-work, and described her paintings as “an organism that turns in space.” With lighting design by Robert Wierzel, Varone’s work hauntingly echoes Mitchell’s explosions on canvas. “In each of us is a storyteller, creating tales filled with the memories of our lives,” said Varone of his solo, The Fabulist, commissioned by ADF and premiered to great acclaim in 2014. Additional work will round out the program.

ReComposed is co-commissioned by ADF and the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University. ADF support provided by the Doris Duke/SHS Foundations Award for New Dance.
