Misnomer Dance Theater is offering paid rehearsals, performances, and touring for mature men and women dancers with a strong work ethic and desire for an ongoing relationship as a member of the company. In the past, we’ve worked in France, Ukraine, Denmark, and the USA, and we have worked with collaborators ranging from Bjork to the Sundance Channel. Misnomer creates challenging, process-based work, which is highly physical, includes partnering, and calls upon the dancers improvisational, creative and performance skills.
