Can A New Director Rejuvenate A Stale American Dance Festival?

Jodee Nimerichter spent years working alongside longtime ADF director Charles Reinhart, whose programming had come to rely heavily on artists who made it big in the 1980s and ’90s, such as the Paul Taylor Dance Company and Pilobolus. Nimerichter has re-engaged those two, but she’s already freshening things up with, among other things, a long-overdue ADF appearance by Stephen Petronio and his company.
