The Elan Awards
Geoffrey Doig-Marx and fellow producer Bruce Robert Harris created the Elan Awards in 2000 to recognize outstanding choreographers who have paved the way for new work. By presenting the award as part of a dance festival, the Awards bridge the gap between generations and pay homage in the best way they can: dance itself, depicting how each choreographer has used their knowledge and reinterpreted it.
From the Celtic tradition, the word “Elan” translates as “flight”.
