DEAR FRIENDS T
his summer we invited you to join us for Shall We Dance, ADF’s 81st season, and I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to everyone who answered this call. Thanks to you, we had quite an unforgettable summer! This season, 24 choreographers and companies performed works on the ADF stage, with half of these artists making their ADF debuts! With its mix of new and classic dances, work from 5 countries, and performances from both dance legends and up-and-coming choreographers, ADF 2014 showed audiences the tremendous diversity and vitality of modern dance. The 2014 season demonstrated the growth of ADF as we continued to reach new audiences. Promotions like ADF Go! enabled more than 1,100 18-to-30 year-olds to attend performances at an affordable $10 per ticket. Our partnerships with the Nasher Museum of Art and the Durham Arts Council allowed us to bring more intimate works into the community while our 2nd year of co-presenting with the North Carolina Dance Festival shone a light on the flourishing local dance scene. ADF’s educational programs continue to expand. 31 students ages 8-to-12 attended our first summer dance camp in June, and 412 students participated in our Six Week School, Three Week School, Dance Professionals Workshop, and International Choreographers in Residency program, where they danced their hearts out in class and on stage. Although the season may have ended in July, the dancing never stops at ADF. In August, four ADF faculty members and two musicians taught a two-week mini-ADF in Henan, China. And the Samuel H. Scripps Studios on Broad Street offer a variety of classes year round for our community—we would love to see you there! The end of our season also marks the final stage of our $3 million comprehensive fundraising campaign, Shall We Dance. Thanks to generous support both online and in person, ADF has raised $2.5 million since the campaign began in 2012. Shall We Dance supports ADF scholarships, the purchase and upkeep of the Samuel H. Scripps studios, commissions, choreographer residencies, community workshops, outreach programs, performances, and an endowment to provide a foundation for the future of ADF. We are close to our goal but still need your help! In closing, I would like to thank our outstanding ADF Board for another year of hard work and commitment. We saw the passing of cherished, long-time board member F.V. “Pete” Allison, Jr. and the resignation of another greatly admired friend, Roger W. Hooker, Jr., but we are delighted to welcome new members Nancy McKaig and Russell Savre. I am so looking forward to the coming year and hope you will all come along for the dance! Sincerely,
Jodee Nimerichter Director

The Children’s Saturday Matinee series returned with performances by three acclaimed dance companies, Ballet Hispanico, Pilobolus, and Paul Taylor Dance Company. These one-hour shows were specially curated to stimulate the imaginations of children. Each performance was followed by a Kids’ Party in the DPAC lobby.
Memory For Movement (M4M)
Dr. Ruth Day, Duke Professor and ADF’s Cognitive Scientist in Residence, continued ADF’s Audience Memory Program throughout the 2014 season. The program, based on both dance and cognitive science principles, used online quizzes, post-performance check-ups, and lab experiments to answer questions such as, “How do dancers learn and remember?” and “How do audiences perceive and remember?” This year, the M4M lab completed a 5-year study of how dancers perceive movement and how differences in perception affect learning and memory. The M4M group included research students from 4 countries.
Post Performance Discussions (PPDs)
Moderated by Chris Vitiello, 12 post performance discussions were held at Reynolds Industries Theater and DPAC. These PPDs offered audiences the unique opportunity to meet the artists, ask questions, and gain insight into the work. Ballet Hispanico

Students were able to take classes in various techniques including modern, ballet, hip hop, the dances of West Africa, and collaborative repertory, as well as attend performances by renowned national and international dance companies.
WINTER INTENSIVE
Now in its 19th year, ADF’s annual Winter Intensive in New York City was attended by 79 students for 9 days of classes, performances, workshops, and panel discussions. In addition to taking classes with distinguished faculty, students had the opportunity to see performances by the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, attend an open rehearsal with Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, participate in a lecture/ demonstration with Urban Bush Women, and take a private tour of the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. They also viewed two panel discussions moderated by Maria Bauman and Joanna Kotze about living and working as a dancer in NYC.
DANCE PROFESSIONALS WORKSHOP
This summer, working dancers and teachers from across the field attended one of two different workshop experiences: The DPW Sampler and the DPW Intensive. Under the direction of ADF Dean Gerri Houlihan, the programs provided the unique opportunity to either study with ADF faculty in classes that were specifically designed to address the needs and interests of dance practitioners and educators (The DPW Intensive) or the freedom to explore the breadth of dance training available through the festival’s Six Week School (The DPW Sampler). This season, 36 professionals immersed themselves in the programs through classes, performances, panel discussions, and more. Scholarships were funded by Pamela and Isaac Green in honor of Donna Faye Burchfield and Dr. Charles R. “Chuck” Davis.

Interns had the opportunity to take dance classes, attend performances, and participate in weekly seminars on relevant issues in the arts including arts advocacy, arts education in the public schools, fundraising, programming, and the challenges of running an independent dance company. Production interns worked on the crew for 49 performances of the ADF season featured at Duke University’s Reynolds Industries Theater and Baldwin Auditorium, Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, and The PSI Theatre at the Durham Arts Council.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT A
DF strives to provide arts education for all by providing year-round community engagement opportunities. ADF encourages everyone – dancers and non-dancers – to take part in modern dance.
ADF’s Samuel H. Scripps Studios
More than 5,000 participants of all ages attended classes in the Samuel H. Scripps Studios during 2013-14. Programs at ADF’s Studios are dedicated to providing a sound scientific and aesthetic base for all levels of training. ADF’s Studios serve as a center for creative activity in which students learn in a welcoming and non-competitive environment from faculty who are experts in their fields. Besides our regular lineup of classes for youth and adults, we offered master classes with Glenna Batson, Jessica Harris, Gerri Houlihan, Nicholas Leichter, Jennifer Nugent, Stuart Singer, Kristin Sudeikis, Jesse Zaritt, April Berry, Noa Wertheim of Vertigo Dance Company, and Tom Weinberger formerly of Batsheva Dance Company. We offered new workshops in Argentine tango, salsa, African dance, and Dunham technique. We also offered a number of free events for the community such as Local Look & Listen, the opportunity to view an open rehearsal of Helen Simoneau Danse, and a special presentation by physical therapists from Duke Sports Medicine. Through a generous donation, ADF was able to offer 11 scholarships to Durham youth to take classes of their choice at the studios. In April, ADF presented the second annual Spring Break Shadow Workshop with Pilobolus. We had 19 participants, 9 of whom attended on scholarship through a generous donation. In this captivating weeklong shadow-play workshop, children invented new worlds, designed props, and learned to tell stories through movement. In June, ADF offered its first Summer Dance Camp for ages 8-to-12. We had 31 participants, 14 of whom were on scholarship. Students participated in a variety of classes, including composition, modern, hip hop, and performance technique, taught by expert faculty Gaspard Louis, Kat Folckomer, Ronald West, and Rosie Hererra.

Selected films ranged from a crowd-sourced multi-country performance project, to a humorous look at personal relationships with physical and emotional space in a Dublin neighborhood, to a reflection of pop-music mirth, to a moving look at a collaboration between autistic actors and the Equus Projects. Screenings took place on the campus of Duke University at the Nasher Museum of Art on four consecutive Saturday afternoons.
