Oh wow, thanks for all this! I'll have to go through it when I have time! I'm glad Luciana won -- I received an invitation from someone affiliated with her and had really wanted to go see her perform, as I'd seen her at the Nothing Festival and really liked her work, but I already had plans to see Boston Ballet's thing at the Guggenheim last night (too much going on in the city, isn't there!!!). Anyway, I'm glad you went. Thanks for giving us the results and for all these amazing links and YouTubes!

Hi Tonya,

Thanks for comment - there is a lot of good multimedia material for dancers in NYC. I'll try to get to the dancer recipients soon.

I would have liked to have gone to Guggenheim program - I'm sure you'll write about it?
