Applications Open For $14,000 Chrystal Dance Prize

Dance Victoria is inviting applications for the 2012 Chrystal Dance Prize of $14,000 from dance artists who are at different stages of their career and who have an international focus.

The prize is named for Dr. Betty “Chrystal” Kleiman whose bequest to the Victoria Foundation in 2009 created the prize.

It was Chrystal’s desire that dance artists from western Canada have the opportunity to learn from and work with the best professionals in the world and that they bring these influences and new works back to Canada.
