Bebe Miller and Creative Team
Honored with Bessie Award
in New York
Bebe Miller, professor in the OSU Department of Dance, and her creative team—which includes Vita Berezina-Blackburn, animation specialist at ACCAD, Department of Dance alumna Angie Hauser and Kathleen Hermesdorf, who will be a visiting artist in dance this fall at Ohio State—were honored with a Bessie (New York Dance and Performance) Award Sept. 17 in New York. The annual awards recognize outstanding creative work by independent artists in the fields of dance and related performance in New York City, and are on par with the coveted Tony awards in theatre. Miller and her team won a Choreographer/Creator award for Landing/Place at Danspace Project; Landing/Place was developed in part at OSU. It is the fourth Bessie Award for Miller. Additionally, dance alumna Dianne McIntyre received a Special Citation at the Bessie presentation for her pioneering work with women, and with African-American and American spiritual traditions in dance.
