Emerging Choreographer – The Bessies https://bessies.org NY Dance & Performance Awards (aka "The Bessies") Fri, 18 Sep 2015 13:24:41 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.2 98890768 2015 Emerging Choreographer & Juried Bessie Award https://bessies.org/2015-emerging-choreographer-juried-bessie-award/ Tue, 14 Jul 2015 13:22:35 +0000 http://bessies.org/?p=90 The 2015 Outstanding Emerging Choreographer Award was presented to Storyboard P for fusing various styles of Hip-Hop with elements of modern and jazz dance, creating a cinematic choreographic vision for new dance narratives and abstract movement-based works.

This year’s Bessies Jury—Susan Marshall, Shen Wei, and Reggie Wilson—named Pavel Zuštiak as the recipient of the 2015 Juried Bessie Award. Zuštiak was recognized for his poetic layering of movement and visual imagery, conceiving the stage space as a decentralized world in which the corporeal body is the focus and canvas for a wide range of human expression.
