About This Cause

ABOUT MISNOMER Founded in 1998 by Artistic Director and CEO Chris Elam, Misnomer has been hailed as one of the most original and dynamic modern dance companies in the performing arts today. Whether moving people through art or building transformative platforms for engagement, we create experimental, unexpected, and powerful ways for artists and audiences to create and find meaning together. Misnomer’s works have been recognized as “one of the top ten dance performances” of the year by The New York Times and have earned the company a position as one of “25 to Watch” by Dance Magazine. Misnomer has performed in over 300 theaters in fourteen countries, and has presented nine NYC seasons with support from frequent residencies, most notably at the Baryshnikov Arts Center, NYC’s Skirball Center, and The Joyce Theater Foundation. The company has conducted large-scale, cross-medium collaborations, ranging from choreographing for Bjork’s “Wanderlust” video to creating an 8,000 square foot labyrinth with the Danish Dance Theater.
