Isadora Duncan Dance Awards Ceremony The Isadora Duncan Dance Awards Committee seeks to honor local dance artists and promote their visibility, primarily by acknowledging outstanding achievements within a twelve-month period of performances. The "Izzies," formed as part of Dance Bay Area in 1984, are designed to celebrate the unique richness, diversity and excellence of Bay Area dance. Its members are choreographers, dancers, teachers, critics, writers, and arts administrators who serve one- or three-year terms, each working to view a diverse spectrum of work during the viewing period of September 1st through August 31st. This free public ceremony honored all aspects of the Bay Area's vibrant dance community. 2008 marks the 22nd Anniversary of the Izzies Committee recognizing the excellence and diversity of Bay Area dance. |
