Marci Alboher wrote an article today in the Business Section of the New York Times in which she featured Misnomer Dance for its’ flexible workspace and online innovations:
Her article included a photo of Misnomer’s office in the Times:
Using her article as inspiration, we decided to give everyone a tour of Misnomer’ home office with a video we edited which the Times linked on their blog:

Chez Bushwick is organizing a great event in NYC for all NYC Dancers, friends, and well…anyone who wants to be in a group picture. This Sunday, a community photo is being taken of the New York City dance community. This project is initiated by Sarma (Belgium) and produced by Chez Bushwick (USA).
The target audience is anyone who considers himself or herself to be part of the New York dance community: individuals and ensembles are welcome to come and be part of the group picture. The resulting photograph will be labeled Dance Community Picture New York 2007, and will be distributed on websites and in art and dance magazines.
The photo will be taken in Northeast quadrant of Bryant Park, which is on 42nd street between 5th and 6th avenues. This event will take place this Sunday, September 23rd at 2:00 PM.
Let us know if you’re going to be there! And check our flickr stream for our photos of the day
