Proclamation:

Dear Friends,

The past two years have not been easy, and launching our first season in three years with half of the staff being new was a big undertaking, but what an incredible summer of dance! Our 2022 season featured 45 performances by 25 companies and artists, and the ADF School and Samuel H. Scripps Studios welcomed eager students of all ages and levels to in-person dance classes. We were so grateful to finally be able to bring choreographers, dancers, faculty, musicians, interns, production staff, and audiences back together to be inspired through so many incredible dance experiences. Our special thanks to all of our generous supporters for believing in us and the power of dance. And many thanks to everyone who came out to see live performance as it was meant to be seen ... among and in community with others! And finally, I cannot thank the staff enough for their tireless work and dedication.

With our 90th anniversary season on the horizon, we are excited to continue celebrating the rich history and the exciting future of the American Dance Festival with you.

Best,

Shen Wei

2022 Samuel H. Scripps/American Dance Festival Award

The 2022 Samuel H. Scripps/American Dance Festival Award for lifetime achievement was presented to acclaimed choreographer and artist Shen Wei on the 22nd anniversary of the founding of his company, Shen Wei Dance Arts, at ADF.

Shen Wei was in residence during the 2022 season working on his latest ADF commission set on ADF students through the Footprints Program. ADF Director Emeritus Charles L. Reinhart presented the $50,000 award in a brief ceremony on July 16th prior to the Footprints program that featured a world-premiere by Shen Wei that was created for and performed by ADF students.

Shen Wei is an artist of restless imagination, ever evolving, ever probing.Through his command of formal structures and the merging of artistic idioms, he reveals a deeply personal humanist vision. He illuminates the internal landscapes of the soul, the untold secrets of the spirit, and as we touch his touch, we are healed. From the most subtle of human gesture to the most profound of grand spectacle, he stirs the senses and moves the heart. It is an art of the future, singularly satisfying, profoundly surprising, yet entirely self-evident.

Educational and Professional Programs

This year offered the ADF School the opportunity to renew our programs and community. Returning to an inperson festival provided physical space to reconnect with the unwavering ADF community of artists, including the school’s faculty, musicians, and students.

In summer 2022, our educational and professional programs were focused on bringing people together, creating connection through classes, discussions, process, and performance. From dancers in the Summer Dance Intensive and Pre-Professional Dance Intensive to working artists in the Dance Professional Workshops, we collectively danced, explored, and expanded.

Summer Dance Intensives

The Summer Dance Intensive (SDI) offered a four-week-long intensive for dancers and artists ages 18 and older. This program offered 18 energizing daily classes, 60+ drop-in classes and discussions, student showings, and performances.

Daily classes included African dance forms, ballet, composition, contemporary, hip-hop, improvisation, jazz, process, and repertory, led by 14 faculty and 14 musicians. Additionally, ADF faculty, company artists, and guests led classes in our drop-in schedule, which provided vast opportunities for dancers to deeply engage and train. With community at the forethought, we included weekly collaborative classes that embraced unique teaching methods.

Classes were led by ADF Faculty Charles O. Anderson, Kimberly Bartosik, Joy Davis, Ramón Flowers, Monique Haley, Rodney Hill, Kate Jewett, Jordan Lloyd, Momar Ndiaye, Sherone Price, George Staib, Rosanna Tavarez, Shen Wei, and Jessie Young. Performance opportunities for students included repertory classes, student works, Monica Bill Barnes & Company’s The Running Show, and the Footprints program with Charles O. Anderson, Kimberly Bartosik, and Shen Wei. The 2022 Summer Dance Intensive had 110 enrolled students.

Mia Crider, Summer Dance Intensive Student

Pre-Professional Dance Intensive Internships

The Pre-Professional Dance Intensive (PDI) offered a two-week intensive for young artists ages 13-17. This audition-based program provided challenging dance classes that focused on community building, while cultivating individual growth and the artistic voice.

Daily classes included African dance forms, ballet, composition, dance film, hip-hop, modern, and repertory. These classes were designed to develop artistry, offer new approaches to training, and instill confidence. This year, dancers harnessed their own ingenuity and created individual dance films. Additional program opportunities included master classes, reflective discussions, student-led activities, social events, and the ADF season performances. These dancers were mentored by a group of dorm counselors that created a welcoming and supportive environment.

Classes were led by ADF Faculty Michelle Gibson, Rodney Hill, Momar Ndiaye, and Matt Pardo and featured live musical accompaniment. Dancers collaboratively created alongside their faculty in their repertory classes and performed new works for the ADF community. The 2022 Pre-Professional Dance Intensive had 42 enrolled students.

ADF offered 22 internships in various areas of arts administration and performance production during the 2022 season. The internship program is designed to give participants hands-on experience in arts administration or performance production where they serve as an integral part of ADF.

Interns had the opportunity to take dance classes and attend performances. Administrative interns participated in weekly seminars on relevant arts topics including mindfulness in the workplace, how to make the most of internships, careers in the arts, and the technical side of theater. Production interns worked on the crew at Duke University’s Reynolds Industries Theater, Page Auditorium, and the von der Heyden Studio Theater at the Rubenstein Arts Center.

Dance Professional Workshops ADF/Duke MFA Collaboration

The Dance Professional Workshops (DPW) offered two week-long workshops for working artists and educators. Workshops included DPW for Creative Process with Jennine Willett and DPW for Educators with Gerri Houlihan. These workshops provided the opportunity for new collaboration, artistic renewal, and making connections.

Workshop curriculum was tailored to address the needs and professional development of the participants. These workshops featured DPW-exclusive sessions and the freedom to engage in other ADF offerings and performances.

DPW for Creative Process emphasized a generous and experimental environment, where participants worked both independently and collaboratively. Participants were encouraged to adapt and apply Jennine’s creative tools in ways that support their own artistic practices. DPW for Educators replenished pedagogical capacities through a curriculum that offered space for educators to examine teaching methods while moving. Participants engaged in daily movement classes with Gerri, in-depth sessions with guest faculty, and participant-led discussions. The 2022 Dance Professional Workshops had 33 enrolled students.

The Duke Dance Program MFA in Dance: Embodied Interdisciplinary Praxis (MFAEIP)’s inaugural Alumni Hothouse, presented in collaboration with ADF, was held summer 2022. Duke MFA hosted a variety of hothouses and events that invited ADF students and artists into their imaginative and experimental laboratory. In collaborative exchange, Duke graduate and alumni dance artists participated in morning movement classes at ADF.

Community Engagement

ADF’s

Samuel

H. Scripps Studios

After two years of mostly virtual gatherings, ADF’s Samuel H. Scripps Studios offered in-person classes, camps, residencies, and master classes in 2022. These year-round activities are for all ages and all levels.

In the summer, we welcomed youth ages 6-17 to exciting camp offerings including the popular Shadow Camp with Pilobolus which culminated with a special performance before the Pilobolus performance at Page Auditorium. Through generous foundation and individual support, ADF was able to offer 41 scholarships to NC youth to attend camps and weekly classes at the studios.

Scripps Studios hosted an intergenerational workshop with Ronald K. Brown/EVIDENCE, A Dance Company. The students had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn from about the company’s unique fusion of African dance with contemporary choreography and storytelling.

As part of her collaboration with ABT Studio Company during their weeklong residency at Duke, choreographer Hope Boykin led a free movement workshop for dancers at all levels of ability. Durham native and former Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Company dancer Hope has a long relationship with ADF as a student and assistant to the choreographer Talley Beatty.

We also welcomed dance artists and companies for residencies opportunities to focus on creating new work. This past year, ADF wecomed Helen Simoneau Danse, Rosie Herrera Dance Theatre, ShaLeigh Dance Works, Kyle Marshall, Jody Kuehner (a.k.a. Cherdonna Shinatra), and artists performing as part of our Made in NC program. Many of the residencies culminated with a free informal showing of their work to the local community. Helen Simoneau Danse, Rosie Herrera Dance Theatre, ShaLeigh Dance Works, and the four choreographers featured in the Made in North Carolina showcase—Justin Tornow, Ramya Sundaresan Kapadia, Taryn Griggs & Chris Yon, and Jose Velasquez—were

all given the time and space to work on pieces performed during the 2022 season.

Additionally, the ADF Studio Subsidy Program offered rehearsal space at affordable rates to 7 North Carolina dance artists. These artists created new work and explored new ideas thanks to the generous support from the Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Foundation.

Parkinson’s Programs

The Parkinson’s Movement Initiative (PMI), offered in collaboration with Poe Wellness Solutions and NC Dance for Parkinson’s, had another successful year with cost-free movement classes for people living with PD and their caregivers. These weekly classes were offered virtually via Zoom. In fall 2022, an in-person class option was added.

This program is supported by a community grant from the Parkinson’s Foundation with additional support provided by RTI International.

ADF Project Dance

Developed in 1998 in collaboration with the Durham Parks and Recreation Department, ADF Project Dance, under the direction of Creative Movement Program Director Gaspard Louis, is a special program designed to expose the Triangle community to dance.

ADF Project Dance provides creative movement classes with professional teaching artists and guest performers. In 2021-2022, ADF offered classes to more than 400 participants in the Triangle area. Students at Durham’s Central Park School for Children and Hillside High School participated with Gaspard Louis in the spring semester and artists Rodney Hill and McDaniel Roberts hosted programs at Marbles Kids Museum (Raleigh) and Kidzu Children’s Museum (Chapel Hill) in the summer.

ADF Project Dance is made possible with major support from the SHS Foundation. Additional support provided by Scripps Family Fund for Education and the Arts, the Durham Merchant Association Charitable Foundation, and Susan & Michael Hersfield.

These one-hour shows were curated to evoke curiosity and inspire the imaginations of children. Additionally, each performance was followed by a FREE Kids’ Party, complete with live music, face-painting, fairy hair, snacks, and other kid-friendly activities. The 2022 Children’s Matinee series reached 815 youth and families.

Get Out 4 Dance

In 2022, ADF launched a new ticket subscription titled “Get Out 4 Dance,” inviting diverse audiences to come together and experience five internationally acclaimed dance performances in their “backyard” at an affordable price of $10 each. The goal is for new, diverse audiences to experience modern dance’s incredible range and vibrancy so these individuals can find what resonates with them.

Get Out 4 Dance is made possible with support from PNC Bank and Consulate General of Israel to the Southeast.

Golden Ticket for Dance Educators

This season, ADF launched a “Golden Ticket for Dance Educators” program to appreciate the amazing individuals contributing so much to training and education in the Triangle dance community. All current dance educators are eligible for this pass at the rate of $150. This pass includes one ticket to seventeen performances in total.

Golden Tickets for Dance Educators are made possible with support from the Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Foundation.

Experience Dance

In an effort to make the performing arts accessible to as many groups as possible, ADF distributes complimentary performance tickets to nonprofit organizations that work with individuals, families, youth, and seniors in need who otherwise could not attend performances. ADF staff reviews applications from local nonprofit organizations and determines how Experience Dance tickets will be distributed.

In the 2022 performance season, 250 Experience Dance tickets were given out to local community groups such as Village Hearth Cohousing, Durham Nativity School, and InterExchange/Au Pair USA.

Experience Dance is made possible with support from Duke Energy, Trinity Avenue Presbyterian Church, and Pamela and Issac Green.

Pilobolus Shadow Camp

Movies by Movers

Under the direction of Cara Hagan, ADF’s Movies By Movers is an annual film festival dedicated to the conversation between the body and the camera. This year the festival screened 67 films including 10 student works at the Durham Public Library.

International Reach

ADF commissioned and virtually presented short dance films from Israeli choreographer Dafi Altabeb and Taiwanese contemporary dance company Hung Dance. The films, When r u coming back home? by Altabeb and collaborator Nini Moshe and Hung Dance’s Equilibrium, could be streamed for free for a limited time and also featured companion conversations with the artists.

Memory for Movement

Dr. Ruth Day, Duke Professor and ADF’s Cognitive Scientist in Residence, continued ADF’s Dancers & Audience Memory Program throughout the 2022 season. The program, based on both dance and cognitive science principles, used post-performance check-ups, structured class observations, lab experiments, and other methods to answer questions such as, “How do dancers learn and remember?” and “How do audiences perceive and remember?”
