Dance/USA this weekend + Congrats to Misnomer

It was recently announced that Chris Elam and Misnomer Dance Theater succeeded in their quest for Ideablob’s $10K monthly giveaway! You can see more details on their idea here, but basically it sounds like they are looking to use the money to develop a web site with lots of new tools for dance companies to use in presenting and increasing access and awareness on the web.
From the IdeaBlob Press Release:
“Our goal is to create innovative ways to expand our fan base and at the same time bring dance to theater fans and supporters when they are not able to make it to the theater,” explained Elam. “Ideablob has proven to be a perfect, non-traditional way to get support for our non-traditional idea of promoting artists and their work.”
Congrats guys!
And on that note, I thought I’d let you know what I’ll be up to this weekend.
I am co-facilitating a workshop on online video for dance companies at Dance/USA’s Winter Forum. The Winter Forum’s focus this year is on marketing and the use of technology.
What makes this information relevant to this post is that my co-facilitators are Chris Elam and Jaki Levy from Misnomer Dance Theater. The conference officially starts tomorrow, although most people arrived in LA today (myself included) and there will be an introductory sort of get together tonight. Should be an interesting new experience.
