MISNOMER DANCE THEATER is a repertory company that was founded by Artistic Director and Resident Choreographer, Chris Elam. The company creates contemporary dances about human relationships that are informed by cross-cultural and international perspectives. Elam approaches dance both as a choreographer and ethnographer, which informs the technical and conceptual complexity of his choreography.

Elam and his company have performed, choreographed, and researched in the USA, Cuba, Brazil, Indonesia, Ireland, Holland, Ukraine, France, and Turkey. NYC productions include The Skirball Center, Symphony Space, Danspace Project, PS 122, DTW, Joyce Soho, and the River-to-River Festival. Misnomer was named one of the top ten dance performances for 2006 by The New York Times and as one of the "25 to Watch" for 2007 by Dance Magazine.

I am an Arts Administration Student at Drexel University and I was researching the role the internet has had in nonprofit dance companies for my final paper and I came across an article about your company. It's really an amazing idea to use digital media format for your dance works. Wish you the best!
