- Awarded to Thy-Lan AlcalayPerformance Award Meagan King Jul 2021 "What resonates most with me in any artist is character. A trait that can seldom be taught. And for this recipient, their character, and talent struck me from Day 1. As a choreographer, I breathe a sigh of relief first entering the studio and seeing this dancer move, knowing my work was in good hands. But it's more than the stellar work I'd seen before me in rehearsal that drew my eye, it was the work that they put in when I wasn't looking, dependability.

And for this recipient, their character, and talent struck me from Day 1. As a choreographer, I breathe a sigh of relief first entering the studio and seeing this dancer move, knowing my work was in good hands. But it's more than the stellar work I'd seen before me in rehearsal that drew my eye, it was the work that they put in when I wasn't looking, dependability. The crucial puzzle piece to the success of any new work is trusting your artist, and that's security I felt in this dancer from our very first rehearsal to our final film day. This dancer on their own is a quiet slow-burning force but that power is heightened because they are a diligent team player. They never settle in just knowing their own movement but were consistently stage-ready to perform their counterparts. Reliability. What I appreciated most was that this dancer took each note with a keen smile. Attentiveness. Willing. Curiosity and openness to receiving new information and critique is an admirable quality this artist has. Remaining a blank canvas of possibility, waiting to be filled, yet they were present and ready with their own vibrant colors for me to choose from to paint this work beautiful. Dependable. Reliable. Willing. Heart. Drive. Character. All words I would describe Thy-Lan Alcalay." - Meagan King 2021 Show less

In Thy-Lan’s case, her teachers describe as solid as a rock, always dependable, always showing up, always doing her best work. Now as a musician, my version of Thy-Lan’s dependability goes like this, in every class there’s a few students who I can count on to look at if I am unsure of the counts or the sequence, you know if I leave the planet for a few seconds. In your class my eye would always go to Thy-Lan and I could always go to you, thanks Thy-Lan. I also witnessed the other side of Thy-Lan, the polar opposite of her sure fired craft, this is her poetic nature. A great example of this was last Spring when we were in the depths of COVID and Tadej gave Graham’s 19 poses assignment. Everyone had to choreograph dances connecting the poses, the trick was to go beyond just connecting pose after pose to create an actual dance. I will never forget Thy-Lan’s 19 poses. It started with her scrunched up in a windowsill. From there her dance was totally out of the box. Almost to the point where you couldn’t recognize the poses and it became its own little monster creation. It was extraordinary. But then Tadej gave her a couple of notes and she completely redid the dance until there was not even a box to dance out of. Pure artistry and creativity.” - Stephen Weinstock 2021 Show less
