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.

Deborah Jowitt wrote a great review of the double-bill at Skirball this past weekend.
Seeing Elam’s work and Keigwin’s in one night certainly emphasizes the contrasts between them…Elam is a true original, and his vision of humans as awkward, naïve, and eager is both comical and curiously touching.
I also really enjoyed what she wrote about Keigwin:
Larry Keigwin may not need Broadway, but Broadway could certainly use him.
Be it film, motion capture, or video games, it is interesting to think that while either choreographer could work on Broadway, they could very easily work in many other venues outside the traditional performance space. To me, that is a very exciting idea.
