Footprints

Celebrating the most talented emerging choreographers and dancers, Footprints delivers an outstanding presentation of three ADF-commissioned world premieres by groundbreaking artists, performed with impeccable technique and infectious energy by talented ADF students. Minnesota-based choreographer Carl Flink creates work that is intensely athletic and daring with humanistic themes. "Dance Magazine" describes his work as "rugged and direct with blunt physicality and provocative themes complexly layered." Leonie McDonagh is the founder and artistic director of the Irish company, ponydance, with whom she has produced and created several works in progress, short dance films, and five full-length productions. ponydance made their ADF debut in 2013 with 10 sold-out performances at Motorco Music Hall. Instinctively interested in the combination of clowning, comedy, and dance, Leonie has developed work with humor that has found universal appeal. Netta Yerushalmy, based in New York City since 2000, makes work that juxtaposes beauty and power, inventive movement, and disjointed composition to distill the awkward and virtuosic into a distinct aesthetic quality. Eva Yaa Asentewaa from the "Village Voice" says," Netta Yerushalmy's dances, like fresh hot spices, are pungent, potent, head-clearing."
