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 DubusTender 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.

“You’ve got to see her, Byron,” legendary dance critic Anna Kisselgoff said just moments before the Chelyabinsk show. “She’s tinybut she moves like crazy.” Kisselgoff was referring to Elena Saizafarova, a French dancer/choreographer of Russian descent whose work has just recently received a major dance award in Rome. “There’s one piece in particular,” Kisselgoff whispered. “She does it with a third leg.”

Tonight, Saizafarova performson two legs or threewith Ivan Estegneev, Vitaly Glukhov, Konstantin Grouss, and Irina Ivleva in an ADF International Choreographers in Residence showcase. The performance is in Baldwin Auditorium at 7 p.m. Admission is free.
