Forty years ago when ADF moved from New London, Connecticut, to Durham, North Carolina, the festival stimulated a renaissance. North Carolina welcomed us with open arms and, according to Anna Kisselgoff in The New York Times, “Southern hospitality is not a myth…the outpouring of support was visible at every level.” ADF chose Duke University as the site of its new home over nearly fifty other invitations from all around the country, in part because of North Carolina’s demonstrated enthusiasm for the performing arts. It has been an exhilarating forty years and we look forward to many more.

ADF would like to thank Duke University for its incredible support over the past 40 years.

Best,

Jodee Nimerichter Executive Director

DURHAM PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

Thursday, June 15 | 6:30pm

ADF Commissioned World Premiere | ADF Debuts The African American Dance Ensemble returns to ADF with their exuberant brand of dance and music. JOYEMOVEMENT’s solo, Fit The Description, is a love letter to all who have been accused of being a suspect because of the color of their skin, their hairstyle, their spunk, their clothing style, the shape of their nose, the color of their teeth, how they laugh, who they worship, or where they eat lunch. Charlotte Ballet will perform Ohad Naharin’s Minus 16. With a musical score that ranges from Dean Martin to traditional Israeli songs, Minus 16 uses improvisation and Naharin’s acclaimed Gaga method in this exhilarating work. In celebration of ADF’s 40th year in Durham, the festival commissioned Dialogues by Artistic Director Robert Weiss and Resident Choreographer Zalman Raffael of the Carolina Ballet. Tap dancers Elizabeth Burke and Luke Hickey will also perform. The evening’s performance begins with the season dedication to the late Allen D. Roses, MD, ADF’s former board chairman, and with a presentation by local children from ADF’s Samuel H. Scripps Studios’ Pilobolus Shadow Camp.

This performance is supported in part by SunTrust Foundation.

Museum Workout

NORTH CAROLINA MUSEUM OF ART

Saturday, June 3-Monday, June 5 | 9:00am, 10:15am, 11:30am, 1:30pm, and 3:00pm

Photo by Mallory Lynn

Limited to 15 people!

Co-presented by ADF and the North Carolina Museum of Art, Museum Workout is an experiential piece that blends a choreographed physical workout with a guided museum tour.

Led by Monica Bill Barnes, her long-time dancing partner Anna Bass, and the company’s Creative Producing Director Robbie Saenz de Viteri, audiences perform choreographed movement as they travel to works of art selected by collaborator Maira Kalman.

The first workout of each day and all workouts on Monday, June 5, will take place while the Museum is closed to the public.

Happy Hour

THE PSI THEATRE AT THE DURHAM ARTS COUNCIL Tuesday, June 6-Friday, June 9 | 6:30pm BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!

Monica Bill Barnes and Anna Bass play two utterly ubiquitous male characters. But as female performers, they can never become these characters. In their persistent failure to become these icons, we can see something more special—two individuals desperate to wrest new meaning from our most familiar ideas of ourselves. Hosted by Robbie Saenz de Viteri, Happy Hour is a hybrid, part office party, part dance show, and part karaoke event.

The happy hour continues after each performance at Bull McCabe’s Irish Pub. Join Monica and Anna for a cool one!

The presentation of Happy Hour is made possible by PNC.

“...like the best [happy hours], it offers abundant laughter.”

—Rue du Théâtre

We Love Arabs is the comical story of a Jewish choreographer and an Arab dancer who want to create a show that carries a message of coexistence and peace, a successful endeavor that demolishes the wall of prejudice, and an examination of everyday behavior that is executed with humor and subtlety.

The presentation of We Love Arabs at The Cary Theater is co-presented by ADF and The Town of Cary.

ADF support for these performances provided in part by The Consulate General of Israel to the Southeast Region.

REYNOLDS INDUSTRIES THEATER

Tuesday, June 20 & Wednesday, June 21 | 8:00pm The duo, first paired by ADF in 2015, Claire Porter & Sara Juli present their latest ADF-commissioned collaboration, The Lectern.

Living according to rules is the demand on all of us. We are surrounded by the rules of our laws, protocols, manners, and expectations. But what are these rules? What are the rules of the game we’re playing? And what happens when rules take over?

Using movement, text, sound, song, and a catwalk runway, the acclaimed comedic performers upend our day-to-day, necessaryto-survive, rule-rituals in The Lectern and find the hilarious in the rule-bending of our daily lives.

The Lectern by Claire Porter and Sara Juli is commissioned by ADF with support from the Doris Duke/SHS Foundations Award for New Works and The Mary Duke Biddle Foundation. Additional support provided by Hilton Durham near Duke University.

Bill Young/Colleen Thomas & Co. revive Young’s 30 year-old Interleaving, a piece combining four separate dances, For Wall Unfolding (an all female quintet), Double Bill (a trio), and two quartets, Music Minus One and Sambosamba. This unusual choreographic concept uses these four dances that have traditional beginnings, middles, and ends, but instead of a linear presentation of those sections, Young has grouped them together: all four beginnings are performed sequentially, then all four middles and, finally, all four ends.

Clock that Mug or Dusted, part two of a three-part suite–one great, bright, brittle all togetherness–is a glorious, hilarious, and, yes, messy homage to feminist performance artists, from Anna Halprin to Janine Antoni, and their focus on the body as a canvas for social change, rebellion, community, and personal expansion brought to you by beloved drag/dance bio-fem icon Cherdonna Shinatra.

This performance contains nudity and adult subject matter.

Presented by ADF in association with Living Arts Collective.

The presentation of one great, bright, brittle altogetherness by Jody Kuehner 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.

Beth Gill, a three-time “Bessie” award winner, is perhaps best known for her 2011 breakout work, Electric Midwife, about which the New York Times stated, “There aren’t many dance makers of Ms. Gill’s generation…working with the kind of clear, penetrating focus that made Midwife—a pair of perfectly symmetrical trios—such a transporting meditation on the body, its intricate physics and intrinsic poetry.”

New Work is commissioned by ADF with support from the Doris Duke/SHS Foundations Award for New Works.

But you’re still the King.” – John Oliver Elvis Everywhere is commissioned by ADF with support from the Doris Duke/SHS Foundations Award for New Works.

Jennifer Nugent and Paul Matteson have collaborated for over sixteen years with a shared interest in movement invention that at once honors and challenges personal range.

Note to Self explores the arising and passing away of support and the ever-changing nature of intimacy over time, the reality of coming together and falling apart, again, and again.

“Kimberly Bartosik is one of the most intriguing descendants of Merce Cunningham.”

Please note that due to the very limited number of tickets available, absolutely no discounts can be used for the Monica Bill Barnes & Company performances of Museum Workout at the NC Museum of Art.

A limited number of KNO tickets will be available for most performing companies. As some programs may contain adult themes or nudity, the selection of KNO tickets is left to the parents and guardians. ADF will post any adult content information on the website immediately after it’s received. Please note that programs are subject to change.

PICK 4+ SERIES SUBSCRIPTIONS: SAVE 25%

Note: KNO tickets are not available for Children’s Matinees or OUT-OF-THE-BOX performances (with the exception of the Musicians Concert and the Faculty Concert).

When you purchase one ticket to four or more different performances at one venue, at one time, you will receive 25% off those tickets. You may purchase as many series subscriptions as you like. Additional single tickets are full price.

By becoming a Series Subscriber you will be able to enjoy many benefits including the best seats in the house, easy ticket exchange, ticket insurance, and a tax deduction for any unused tickets. Becoming a Series Subscriber also gives you the opportunity to be among the first to purchase tickets before the general public the following year!

Note: Series Subscriptions are not available for the Opening Night Performance (June 15), Children’s Matinees, OUT-OF-THE-BOX performances, or Hillel Kogan at The Cary Theater.

4+ SERIES SUBSCRIPTIONS TO ADF@DPAC are available through the order form on pages 34-35, online, in person, or by phone.
