Dance Victoria is excited to announce the recipients of the Chrystal Dance Prize-Projects, committing $47,000 in commissioning support for international dance collaborations. The prize is generated from a bequest made by Dance Victoria patron, Dr. Betty “Chrystal” Kleiman, to the Victoria Foundation and supports exceptional dance research and/or creation between a Western Canadian dance artist, collective or company and an international dance artist (interpreter or choreographer).
Julia Taffe of Aeriosa Dance Society receives $22,000 to support site-specific vertical dance performances and public engagement activities with Croatian choreographer Marija Scekic of Histeria Nova Artistic Organization. |
