From the folks at NCCAkron:
The National Center for Choreography - Akron (NCCAkron) announces a new $1.5 million gift from The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation to create the Knight Dance Award. In 2015, the Knight Foundation provided the original capital to establish NCCAkron, the second choreographic center of its kind in the country, with a $5 million endowment gift. NCCAkron plans to award the $50,000 Knight Dance Award to a single recipient during the fall of each year.
The Knight Dance Award is envisioned to honor a living choreographer whose body of work is distinguished not only for its artistry but also for its originality of thought and impact. The award will celebrate the experimentation and longevity of choreographers in the United States with an eye to the future, embodying the established craft of choreography as well as new practices to shape a 21st century dance landscape.
