Staff Report-
Jeremy Plummer, a director, choreographer and aerial creator/choreographer, will be the recipient of the 2013 Artistic Achievement Award from the Chicago National Association of Dance Masters presented at the organization’s 101st annual awards banquet this month. Each year, CNADM presents the Artistic Achievement Award to an individual who has made a significant contribution to the dance community. Plummer began his training at Debra Collier’s School of Dance, where he was a member of Class Act Dance Troupe, and continued on to Gus Giordano’s School of Dance in Chicago after graduation. He was a company member with River North Chicago Dance Company and is featured in the films “Vanilla City,” “The Visitor” and “Road to Perdition.” He is founder and CEO of C5, an aerial-dance company. Through his blend of aerial artistry and live performance, Plummer has created aerial shows and “living art” installments for cruise lines and special events. He is a choreographer for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines and a master teacher for numerous national dance organizations. He has directed and choreographed more than 15 shows and musical reviews and shared his love and knowledge of dance through the Minnesota Ballet theater production of “Teenage Wasteland.” “Watching Jeremy develop as a student and into the talented choreographer he has become is such a privilege,” explained Debra Collier. Plummer recently taught master classes in jazz and improving turns for students at Debra Collier’s School of Dance and also set choreography on members of the studio’s company, Class Act Dance Troupe. “It is wonderful to have him return to the studio and share his passion for dance, his experience and his talent with our students,” noted Collier.
