Bessie Award Winners
OUTSTANDING PRODUCTION (of a work that stretches the boundaries of a traditional or culturally specific form):
For blasting open our notions of tap through the deliciously choral rhythms of swooshing, stamping socks in a transformative Jimmy Slyde tribute, and for the epiphany of showing us the hardworking bare feet inside tap technique, a 2011 New York Dance and Performance Award for Outstanding Production goes to Michelle Dorrance for Remembering Jimmy and Three to One at Danspace Project.
OUTSTANDING INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE:
For his astounding expressiveness, natural charm, and unforced theatricality, and for magically channeling Fred Astaire in his utterly relaxed but beautifully integrated tap dancing in Body Madness: A Shared Evening by Michelle Dorrance and Dormeshia Sumbry-Edwards at Danspace Project, a 2011 New York Dance and Performance Award for Outstanding Individual Performance goes to Caleb Teicher.
