KNIGHT CHOREOGRAPHY PRIZE

The $50,000 Knight Choreography Prize, made possible by Knight Foundation, is designed to support the artistic experimentation and career longevity of choreographers in the United States. Each year the award honors a living choreographer whose body of work is distinguished not only for their artistry but also for their originality of thought and impact. The award celebrates choreographers who provide significant contributions to the dance field, expand audiences for dance, and ensure the artform has a prominent place in U.S. culture. Artists receive an unrestricted cash award of $30,000, plus $20,000 in programmatic support over two years, to be co-designed with NCCAkron.
