THE ISADORA DUNCAN DANCE AWARDS COMMITTEE
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, running September 1 through August 31. The "Izzies" awards, created in 1984, are designed to celebrate the unique richness, diversity and excellence of Bay Area dance.
The Isadora Duncan Dance Awards Committee (The Izzies) operates as a non-profit volunteer association, currently under the fiscal sponsorship of the Shawl-Anderson Dance Center in Berkeley, CA. The Izzies Committee members are choreographers, dancers, teachers, critics, writers, and arts administrators who serve one- or three-year terms.
An Open Invitation to the Bay Area Dance Community
We invite and encourage all dance artists to keep us informed of their upcoming dance performances. We strive to view dance performances of all genres and Bay Area geographic regions and to do this, we keep our collective ear open for who is doing what. You can help us by sending notices of your performances to press at izzies.org or via our contact form.
Works that are eligible for consideration are those performed for the public and do not include student recital work. Both professional and amateur work is considered. For specific categories and eligibility definitions, visit the Category Definitions page and tell others about our website www.izzies.org.
