MisNomer in the Village Voice: Bubbling Away…
“At the moment you see the movement occur, you hear the voice of that dancer talking about what’s in their head or what images are going on for them.” – Elam in the Village Voice
Chris Elam is continuing to make waves with his ideas for the Misnomer Dance Co. After winning the IdeaBlob Contest, his plans to use the internet as a vehicle to deepen the understanding and involvement of the audience are just bubbling.
I’m very excited to see this – most of all because he seems, to me, to be the perfect person to make it actually happen. In the past I’ve known people with the technical know-how to do it, and others with the dance talent and desire – but aside from the folks at Troika Ranch, I’ve never seen anyone do it quite so aggressively and non-commercially. Not that they’re not out to make money – I’m sure Misnomer will happily take any donations you choose to give – but with the $10,000 prize to pave the way, I’m really looking forward to their continuing advancement of the art and the medium.
