We had great conversations with thoughtful leaders ranging from executives at leading internet companies — such as Google, MySpace, and Yahoo — to inspiring social entrepreneurs running innovative non-profits including Kiva.org and Donorschoose.org. You’ve got to love a conference that programs the CEO of Google and the legendary songwriter Neil Young practically back-to-back!

We were delighted to have such a strong response to our dance performance and to have developed a lot of interest in the Audience Engagement Platform for the Performing Arts that we are developing, on which we gave a presentation to the full assembly. We’ve made an online animated version of parts of the presentation which you can see here: www.misnomer.org/aep.

Developing solutions to empower artists and audiences online requires input from a range of voices and perspectives; we are delighted to receive so much feedback from within the performing arts world on a regular basis, and this last week, it was encouraging to see strong interest from the business and technology sectors in helping to bring new technological offerings to the arts.

A big thanks goes out to the entire team at Fortune Magazine - and especially David Kirkpatrick, Jessi Hempel, Simone Ross, and Delwyn Gray - for their bold creativity by inviting a dance performance into the midst of the conference!

This group of young choreographers and dancers are remarkably advanced for their age, and they defy expectations. We haven’t seen this program yet, but from what we’ve seen of their past work we thought they stood out in ways that would be worth your consideration.

    Thursday, June 5th - Sunday, June 8th

    Come experience a dance-exploration into the art of becoming one’s self as interpreted by seven inspired and inspiring teen artists. The Young Dance Collective hurtles against and through expectations of where they are in the scheme of life. Alert, ardent, open and decisive, this sophisticated company offers a formative investigation that reveals the intelligence and intensity of our youth.

    “I thought I would be mentoring these kids, and they ended up mentoring me.”
    -Brian Brooks

    This month, while Chris is choreographing Labyrinth with the Danish Dance Theater, I will be in Canada presenting our work in online audience development at Soundstream’s New Models of Distribution Conference.
    I got a sneak peak at the photos from Labyrinth, and they are exceptional! Make sure to check back here after the weekend - we’ll be posting slides from the presentation on slideshare, as well as a recap and photos from Denmark.

    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.

    May 28th, 2pm-3:30pm and 3:30pm - 5pm
    May 29th, 6pm-7:30pm and 7:30pm - 9pm
    May 30th, 1pm-2:30pm and 2:30pm - 4pm

    “A true original, Mr. Elam is one of the most individualistic of modern dance voices today.” Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times

    “Chris Elam has fashioned a distinctive, engagingly bizarre choreographic style. His skill and clarity of vision delight the soul.” Deborah Jowitt, The Village Voice
