Paired with the 20th anniversary of the Dance Umbrella of Ontario, a new batch of awards for the dance community was launched last summer. The newly christened Parasol Awards honour some of the movers and shakers behind the scenes who have helped nurture the field and support that which eventually makes it to the stage. The 2009 Parasol Awards are being presented Thursday, July 2nd at 10pm at The Tranzac Club, 292 Brunswick Avenue.
Two of the awards and their recipients have been released, including:
• “We Couldn’t Dance Without You” for outstanding work in their field
In recognition of the work of Janelle Rainville
• “What’s the Big Idea” for an audacious dream come true
In recognition of the work of Miriam & Lawrence Adams
A third surprise award will be presented as well to a unique and unsung supporter of dance in our community. All friends, family and community are welcome to come celebrate these special individuals at this free event. The admirable efforts and invaluable work of these trailblazers is a dance worth recognizing.
