On July 11 in Durham (NC), the American Dance Festival (ADF) will present the 2016 Samuel H. Scripps / American Dance Festival Award for lifetime achievement to Lar Lubovitch.
The annual award honors choreographers who have dedicated their lives and talent to the creation of modern dance. The award will be presented to Lubovitch in a brief ceremony prior to the first of two performances (July 11 & 12) by the Lubovitch company at the Durham Performing Arts Center. The company will perform five of Lubovitch’s most beloved works, created over a span of more than 40 years.
"We are exceptionally delighted to honor Lar Lubovitch with this award. For decades, his breathtaking work has drawn audiences with its big, full-bodied, fluid movement, and year after year, he continues to draw the best dancers in the industry to perform his gorgeous works," stated ADF Director Jodee Nimerichter. ADF has been presenting the best in modern dance for 83 years.
Over the past 35 years, the Scripps / ADF Award has been presented to Martha Graham, Merce Cunningham, Paul Taylor, Hanya Holm, Alwin Nikolais, Katherine Dunham, Alvin Ailey, Erick Hawkins, Twyla Tharp, Anna Sokolow, Donald McKayle, Talley Beatty, Trisha Brown, Meredith Monk, Anna Halprin, Fayard and Harold Nicholas, Pina Bausch, Pilobolus, Garth Fagan, Maguy Marin, Eiko and Koma, Bill T.
