Dance Magazine’s December 2007 issue featured an article by Kina Poon called Whirled Wide Web. Kina interviewed Chris Elam, Misnomer’s artistic director, for the feature which focused on how dance companies like Misnomer and others are using the web.

Chris came up with the idea of recording the conversation with Kina so that you could hear some of the thoughts that could not make its way into the article. I took the video of Chris talking on the phone and placed past choreography and experiments on top of the conversation to give the conversation more context. I hope this supplemental material gives you additional insight into Dance Magazine’s great article.
