ADF’S FRI, APRIL 15 | 7:00PM & 9:00PM SAMUEL H. SCRIPPS STUDIOS made in america Deborah Lohse, Donnell Oakley, and Cori Marquis’ B.A.N.G.S.: made in america is a kaleidoscopic pageant of status, attention, categorization, and femininity. In their first evening-length work, LMnO3 shape-shift in style and identity, donning everything from velvet evening wear, to ripstop jumpsuits, to snack-filled purses, to sensible bathing suits, as the dancers explore what they are—and aren’t—qualified to do. Serious play and creative instincts rule “It’s not just the dancing, or the acting, or as the trio obsesses over the ideas behind B.A.N.G.S., a mnemonic device the lip-synching; the flux speed of their frequently used by French language learners to remember which adjectives go in front of a noun: Beauty, Age, Number, Goodness, and Size. Utilizing hard performance leaves the audience thought- rap, body percussion, headlamps, a game show, and the power of female drenched, processing what they just relationships, this comedic trio sets aside its own fear and doubt, beginning to saw while their eyes hold on to what is repurpose how we can unapologetically wear our own B.A.N.G.S. happening now.” This performance contains nudity and adult language. –OffOffOff.com 3 “It’s impossible to recount every A BODY IN A FARMER’S MARKET A BODY IN A MARKET PLACE detail, yet tempting: Durham Farmer’s Market Weaver Street Market, Carrboro SAT, MAY 14 | 8:00AM and 11:00AM SUN, MAY 15 | 11:00AM Each resonated so intensely…” –The New York Times A BODY IN A LIBRARY Cameron Village Regional Library, Raleigh SUN, MAY 15 | 2:30PM-followed by EIKO a talk/video presentation at 3:30PM FREE PERFORMANCES! Eiko has expanded into the realm of solo artist in her latest work. She is returning this season with her series A Body in Places in three new venues. Central to the work is Eiko’s drive to explore non-traditional venues and respond to the innate characteristics of the specific place. These mini performances will offer a strange and intense experience that invites, almost forces, the viewer’s gaze to engage the performer’s gaze. Performing as a soloist, Eiko willfully partners with the particularities of places and viewers. This work also includes a photo exhibition exploring the theme of A Body in Places with photographs by LMNO3 William Johnston of Eiko’s latest body of work in Valparaiso, Chile. Valparaiso is known for having one of the homes of poet Pablo Neruda and for the way it has encouraged graffiti artists to create fantastic visions in an already colorful city; it invited Eiko and Johnston to continue their collaboration and create images that express an innate creativity in a community where art is not limited to the elite. The exhibit at the Cameron Village Regional Library will take place in May while the exhibit in the lobby of Reynolds Industries Theater will take place June 16-July 30. Additional Activities: Delicious Movement Workshop From Trinity to Trinity with Eiko Otake Book Discussion with Eiko Otake MON, MAY 9 | 6:00–8:00pm TUE, MAY 10 | 7:00–8:30pm ADF’s Samuel H. Scripps Studios Durham County Main Library ADF’s presentation of A Body in Places by Eiko is made possible with support from 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, with additional support from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Created after several years of experimentation with short-form shadow play, Shadowland is part shadow act, part dance, part circus, and part concert. It’s a groundbreaking, first-of-its-kind performance conceived in collaboration with Steven Banks, lead writer for the playfully surreal animated series SpongeBob SquarePants, and propelled by a rhythmic shadowland original score by the popular American musician, producer, and film composer David Poe. The performance combines Pilobolus’s legendary approach to modern dance with high-energy, fast-paced multimedia innovation, including multiple moving screens of different sizes and shapes, and a groundbreaking merging of projected images and front-of-screen choreography that leverages darkness and light. The evening performances contain nudity. The Family Matinee will “It’s a colourful, big, entertaining include the same full-length program presented during evening and completely wacky evening.” performances. There will be no nudity at this performance. –Time Out London 5 AN EVENING WITH “Glover not only exhibits his mastery of different styles of music and tap, he also reveals his wit and his joy in performing.” –Chicago Tribune gloverdejohnette “Jack DeJohnette’s drums rarely settle on a pulse, painting a sound-world in intricate floating patterns full of empty spaces, like a points of light in a night sky.” –Telegraph UK PAG E MON, JUNE 20 | 8:00PM AUDITORIUM TUE, JUNE 21 | 8:00PM A tour de force of expert jazz and tap dancing, this once in a lifetime session, co-presented with Duke Performances, brings together living legends, Savion Glover and Jack DeJohnette.
