Martha’s Vineyard hosts Misnomer

yardlogoIf you’re going to be anywhere near Martha’s Vineyard, make sure to drop us a line. We’ll be in the area through the month of July on a residency choreographing a new dance. Our performances at The Yard will take place on July 26, 27 & 28, and we will teach classes and work with the community throughout the month. The weblink is: http://www.dancetheyard.org/

From their site:

The Yard is known as a beacon of support for the art of choreography. In its 34 years of existence, more than 650 choreographers, dancers, composers, and designers have collaborated on more than 200 original works at The Yard.

Keep checking back on the blog - we’ll be posting pictures, videos, and words throughout the Summer!

Summer Stages Residency

This summer, we’re going places - literally! As part of a 6 week residency program, we’ll be putting together workshops, shows, and other events. Don’t miss us this July.

summerstageMisnomer is in residence at Summer Stages Dance as the first time winner of the Summer Stages Dance/Baryshnikov Arts Center Artist Residency Project.

As part of the residency, we will be teaching workshops, performing, rehearsing and developing our presenter partnership. You can see us perform live on July 12 or catch some of the show here, online.

In July and August, we will be in Concord, MA (as well as Martha’s Vineyard at The Yard) developing new work. As the second part of the Summer Stages residency, we will be working at the Baryshnikov Arts Center this Fall. We can’t wait to meet so many new people and share our work with you!

Dance Magazine Review

dance magazine In their June 2007 issue, Dance Magazine published a really interesting review of our show FUTURE PERFECT:

Elam’s company, Misnomer Dance Theater, never ceases to impress with their connectivity and subtle-to-intense emotional interactions. It’s the abruptness of the movements—a dancer will stand completely still for moments, then all of the sudden throw herself onto the back of another dancer—that make Elam’s choreography so intense. It’s strangely comfortable to watch, as if you are having a pleasant, but non-linear, bizarre dream.
