Misnomer dance theater

Just a heads up about a dance company that’s doing some really interesting things both online and off…

I first saw them on myspace (a great way for companies to connect with more people). Then I found their website and blog, which is full of videos, info, rep list, calendar, tons of press. Very impressive. Chris Elam is the director/choreographer, (you can see a video interview of him here). He says he is heavily influenced by Balinese dance. (I took Doug there for his birthday a few years ago, but we were so destroyed by our jet-lag that we missed our one opportunity to see a traditional dance performance! ugh! maybe next time.)

So check out their videos, especially this one done by Apple about Misnomer’s collaboration with Tronic Studios (how cool!) for RES Digital Film Festival.
Their next performances are April 12 & 14 and NYU’s Skirball Center, followed by tours in the Ukraine, France, and Turkey.
