The American Dance Festival season begins June 10 with Durham’s own African-American Dance Ensemble. Duke faculty and staff can buy tickets to any ADF performance at a 20 percent discount.
The season, which runs to July 24, includes 12 other troupes with performances focusing on this year’s theme: What is dance theater?
“Many of the choreographers represented this season have created works known for dipping a toe in both theater and dance, and then back again, all with great success,” said David Byrd, ADF’s director of marketing and communication.
Performances throughout the summer take place on Duke’s campus and at the Durham Performing Arts Center.
The Duke community is also invited to attend a variety of free dance activities, from behind-the-scene tours of ADF classes to free screenings of works by troupes like Eiko & Koma and the Paul Taylor Dance Company. A full calendar of events is online at americandancefestival.org.
