Marthe Krummenacher and Tamara Bacci each receive an Outstanding Female Dancer award from the FOC, honouring the work of two women with similar backgrounds and exceptional magnetism.
Tamara Bacci was born in Geneva in 1970. She is a multifaceted, charismatic performer who started out with the Ballet Junior de Genève, has danced with major international companies, and continues to work in the independent scene. Much more than a dancer of choreographies, she is a creative artist who encourages us to reflect on the nature of dance itself. Marthe Krummenacher was born in Southfield, Michigan in 1981 and is also a graduate of the École de Danse and the Ballet Junior in Geneva. She danced with Nederlands Dans Theater 2 and was a member of the Forsythe Company before returning to Geneva in 2007 as a freelancer, bringing both enthusiastic commitment and an astutely critical eye to the city's dance scene. The award winners each receive CHF 25,000.
