 Izzies Press The 22nd Annual Isadora Duncan Dance Awards
Press Contact: Patricia "Gigi" Jensen Quotes "The Izzies, as they are familiarly called, take place Monday and are the centerpiece of the weeklong series of free classes, demonstrations and performances that make up the Bay Area National Dance Week."
"The Isadora Duncan Dance Awards Committee presented its Sustained Achievement Award to the City College of San Francisco Dance Program for 70 years of dance instruction and performance."
"You have heard of the Emmys, maybe
even the Bammies, but in Bay Area dance,
the country’s second largest dance community
— it is the Izzies!"
"The Bay Area Dance Awards had a special gravitas this year, falling just hours after the sudden death of
Smuin Ballet founder and former San Francisco Ballet co-director Michael Smuin."
"The Bay Area upheld its title of largest per capita dance center in
the United States Tuesday at the Bay Area Dance Awards at San Francisco's
Yerba Buena Center for the Arts." "one of the primary functions of the Izzies was to address what local
dancers saw as a serious lack of attention on the part of the critics." "...there were so many pillars of the local dance scene honored that
that the progression of standing ovations and sitting down and standing
ovations and sitting down felt like a Catholic mass at times." 2007 Materials List of Nominees (and Honorees) Free Downloads: |
