The 2007 winners of the Rocky Awards - given by DanceUSA/Philadelphia with Philadelphia Live Arts and Philly Fringe - are Renee Banson, Kim Bears-Bailey, Gwendolyn Bye, Silvana Cardell, Hellmut Gottschild, Roko Kawai (pictured), Dara Stevens Meredith, Painted Bride Arts Center, Rennie Harris Puremovement and Melissa Rector.
The awards are meant to "celebrate outstanding achievement in a production, a performance, a set design, or other accomplishment in Greater Philadelphia's dance and physical theater community. There are no categories, committees or ballots. Each recipient wins the honor of selecting a 'champion' to receive a Rocky in the subsequent year."
These arts awards are so named, in fact, we are told, in honor of the movie.
