Summer Stages Dance featured Misnomer in their annual festival for young dancers across the country. In a full-length concert, Misnomer presented Tin Man, Land Flat, and Throw People to a very receptive audience. In addition to a post-performance Q&A, Misnomer's New Media Director, Jaki Levy, set up two laptop computers in the lobby that audience members could use in order to ask questions and give feedback. Misnomer then contacted each individual, responding to their comments online as part of the Presenter Partnership Program. Audience members glowed about the work, and truly enjoyed the opportunity to share their full experience with the company.
The Presenter Partnership Program aims to engage audiences beyond the theater, feeding their appetites for continued experiences and reflections of works online. As part of the program, Jaki contributed five hours of strategic consulting to Summer Stages, offering dynamic and personalized content for the Summer Stages website; blogging before, during, and after the engagement; and collecting photos, testimonials, and videos for Summer Stages' continued use.Misnomer offers a talk about creating choreographies in international contexts, during which the company discusses past work in Indonesia, Cuba, France, Ukraine, Turkey, Brazil, Ireland, Holland, and Denmark.
