Celebrating its 77th anniversary and entering into its 33rd season in Durham, the American Dance Festival poses a question as this year’s theme, “What is Dance Theater?”
“We want to leave it as a question mark for the audience,” said Jodee Nimerichter, co-director of the festival. “We are not necessarily going to answer the question.”
This year’s festival begins today and runs through July 24. Performances — featuring eight world premieres, one U.S. premiere and five American Dance Festival Company debuts — are split between the Durham Performing Arts Center and Duke University’s Reynolds Industries Theater.
