Asheville Contemporary Dance Theatre
BIOGRAPHY
Performance Formats:
Asheville Contemporary Dance Theatre (ACDT) performs a diverse repertoire of modern dance for children, families and adult audiences. ACDT's 'dance stories' retell myths from many cultures with colorful sets and costumes, traditional music, spoken word and dance.
Imagine a camel in a tutu performing for an audience of her peers, a crow convincing a bear that cooking pots are the latest in fashionable headgear, an ostrich falling madly in love and an arrogant lion humbled by a tiny beetle. ACDT's newest production of "Fables" is based on Arnold Lobel's modern classic and winner of the Caldecott Medal, and features unusually juxtaposed creatures that dance, talk and tell stories with morals.
