NetGain would like to extend its congratulations to Santee Smith & Kaha:wi Dance Theatre (KDT). Santee has just been awarded the Canada Council for the Art's new award for arts management, the John Hobday award. She shares this honour with Sherri Johnson. The award comes with a $10K prize which is to be used for professional developement.
Last night we attended the ceremony at Theatre Aquarius in Hamilton, Ontario where KDT performed excerpts of two new(-ish) works, A Story Before Time and A Soldier's Tale. Bob Sirman, the Director of the Canada Council for the Arts had many nice things to say.
Santee is one of Netgain's current clients (strategic planning as well as general management) but we have also been friends with her ever since Doug helped her negotiate free studio space at the National Ballet School and she occupies an office above ours. I found a biography of her here, but it is a little out of date and I am pretty sure she was born in '71 and not '61. She would be appalled.
Kaha:wi Dance Theatre will be performing a full evening of work at the Canada Dance Festival in Ottawa on June 10th; at Luminat'Eau @ Harbourfront in Toronto on June 14th, and sometime later in the summer as part of Dusk Dances @ Withrow Park. Please feel free to contact us for more information, or contact her directly. Santeekahawi (AT) aol.com. She does not yet have a website. It's one of the things I'm working on this summer! Look out for that.
