The ADG Performance Festival 2007 kicks off on September 5th. Thirty-four dance companies from across the United States, Europe and Canada will be presented during four evenings of performances with dances ranging from modern to ballet to performance art to contemporary cultural hybrids including influences from Iran, Japan, France, Africa and China. Together they reveal the remarkable diversity of contemporary dance styles.

Featured in this year’s festival is Mary Anthony’s stunning 1948 masterpiece, Lady Macbeth, performed by Mary Ford, on Wednesday and Friday, September 5 and 7. Then, on Thursday and Saturday, September 6 and 8, the Cunningham Repertory Understudy Group will perform an abridged version of Cunningham’s groundbreaking 1970 work, Signals. Special guest artist from Marseille, Claude Aymon, with his company, c2a 7ème trimestre, will join this festival. Claude recently choreographed a procession through the streets of Marseille with 800 children. Each evening in the lobby of the theater, there will be a showing of the documentary Mary Anthony: A Life in Modern Dance, a tribute to this inspiring choreographer, still active in her 90’s.

In addition to the public performances, three master classes are planned for Thursday through Saturday mornings from 10-11:30 AM, onstage at Hudson Guild. Claude Aymon, special guest artist from France, will teach class on Thursday, Sept. 6; Mary Anthony will teach on Friday, Sept. 7; and a member of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company will teach on Saturday, Sept. 8.

The American Dance Guild has served the dance field in many capacities over the past 51 years. With this festival, we continue the Guild tradition of bringing together artists from across the nation and internationally for performances and master classes. Come celebrate our accomplishments, join the dancers of the present, and look into the future!

Alabama’s dance community was excited to have the National Dance Education Organization (NDEO) in Mobile, Alabama June 20-24, 2007. The theme for the 2007 conference was “Community Building”, and the Gulf Coast area was chosen for the annual conference site due to the massive rebuilding surge prompted from hurricane Katrina’s devastation.  The NDEO collaborated with the American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA) for their festival last year.   Several notable institutions and individuals are participating in Mobile including the Alabama Dance Council, swing dance legend  Frankie Manning, Brazillian drummer Curtis Pierre, Janis Brenner of the Nickolais Company, Bill Evans,  Elsa Posey, Pamela Sofras,  Sybil Huskey, and others.  Around 200 sessions are offered, ranging from technique classes to research meetings.

The NDEO includes on their honorary Board of Directors such luminaries as Hillary Clinton (who wrote a testimonial) and Louise Slaughter.  The NDEO collaborates with 150 arts and education organizations, from state, federal, corporate, such as the NEA, the US Department of Education, and enjoys a twelve year long association with the Arts Education partnership, promoting advocacy in congress in all the arts disciplines, believing in the concept of “arts education for all Americans.” 

Greetings Dance Enthusiasts,

 Many of us are experiencing compelling and challenging times with our changing economy, environment, and our selves and personal lives!  My hope is that you dance your way through the trials and joys of life.

 I encourage your participation in the 2007 festival, we hope to make it a great opportunity to share your work and network in NYC.  I hope to see enhanced collaboration with other organizations in the coming year, we are now collaborative members of the Society of Dance History Scholars (SDHS) and the Sacred Dance Guild (SDG), and I am in contact with the Congress on Research in Dance as well (CORD).  I believe that with solidarity as non-profit dance service organizations we can strengthen our voice for the art of dance and related performing arts.
