First sentence: The international network which the American Dance Festival (ADF) has woven began in 1979, when Charles Reinhart, Director of ADF, Lisa Booth, ADF's then- Administrative Director, and myself, at that time Director of Planning and Development, received a grant from the Japan-US Friendship Commission to explore the possibility of an ADF residency in Japan, and to inform ourselves of the state of Japanese modern dance.
