The American Dance Festival (ADF), founded in 1934, has brought some of the brightest minds in modern dance to Duke's campus every summer since it relocated to Durham in 1978. This poster advertises the 1989 performance of the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company, one of the most widely known queer activist dance groups. The performance took place just over a year after Zane's death from AIDS. The Company carries on his legacy and still performs with ADF today.
