North Carolina showed off their best in the Acts to Follow series, which featured the original works of 30 local choreographers. Saturday night brought us the third and final program, which took place in Baldwin Auditorium on Duke’s East Campus.

The native dancers tapped into a resource that only few of the ADF performance companies have utilized this year: speech. Three pieces included spoken text within the work, most notably in Christina Tsoules Soriano’s Begin Again which played on the idea of what it means to begin a dance by responding vocally on stage to a pre-recorded track.

The second of ADF’s Acts to Follow showcases devoted to North Carolina choreographers convenes in Baldwin Auditorium at 8 p.m. Highlights:

  • former Trisha Brown dancer Niki Juralewicz’s Elemental, described as a “tender, vicious, and playful” series of solos, trios, and duets,
  • Ashlee Ramsey and Katheryn Ullom’s No, I Agree, a study in mixed messages we enjoyed at Bickett Gallery earlier this year,
  • former Alvin Ailey dancer Duane Cyrus’ delicious Fruit Flows From Root, and
  • an excerpt from former Laura Dean dancer Rodger Belman’s theatrical Fate.

Admission’s free — but after we roasted in the auditorium during the International Choreographers in Residence concert this week, our recommendations: dress light, and bring fans.

Before that, Cadence Dubus‘ Tender Age, a restaging of the half-hour work she presented at Dance New Amstersdam earlier this year with costumes by Nathan Keay. The show’s had a last-minute change of venue. Look for it in the first floor studio beneath the Ark tonight at 7 p.m.
