Lighting Design Award 2010

The second year of Light Design Award took place again within the festival Czech Dance Platform where Pavel Dautovský, Jan Beneš, Jan Rolník were present in order to judge the lighting creations, seeing 17 choreographies on 5 different stages. Henk van der Geest, a foreign guest of the jury finally could not arrive.

In the end of the festival, the jury was deciding between the two candidates: Jan Komárek and Vladimír Burian. At the festival, Vladimír Burian presented his site-specific project Echoes (showed in the Synagogue in Palmovka).  The work of J. Komárek was presented with three choreographies (Gaia by D. Chaloupková, Zločin a trest by NANOHACH a J. Komárek, Tore by D. Hoštová), each impressive  in a specific way: Gaia created an ambiance of effects, Zločin a trest was plentiful of visual stimuli, Tore was a strong experience with perfect timing.

For the year 2010, the jury awarded Jan Komárek because of his originality and creativity. Award was prepared by artist Radka Mizerová.
