October 19, 2007An open call to all students : experiement in user-generated developmentAs part of our effort to involve audience members, we're asking you to go to work! JPMorgan is hosting a unique program where students write a proposal to make the case for why the not-for-profit organization of their choice deserves to receive $25,000. Finalists will pitch to an investment board of JPMorgan executives and the winning team will actually have their proposal funded!At Misnomer we write over 20 proposals a year, and now here's a unique way that you can help co-produce Misnomer's next dance production! This is actually pretty radical - traditionally the main ways to help a performing arts company that you believe in are to make a financial contribution or volunteer your time in person. If you are interested, send us an email and we'll provide you with useful support through the process. Thank you for considering taking a personal stake by making our work your work and for testing the possibilities of user-generated development!

Since then, we've seen a growth in participation and an expansion of our audience. Now that we're participating in Great Dance, we hope this reach will allow us to hear from an even more diverse audience. Throughout this process, we aim to de-code some of the aspects of what it means to run an emerging dance company these days. We are looking to expose some of the aspects that are usually only experienced by the artists themselves. Traditionally, an audience only interacts with a dance company for two hours a year, during one night in the theater, and then nothing else. We hope to provide you an interesting way to gain further insight into our work, and share in some of the added excitement which has led us to dedicated our lives to this form.
Upcoming posts will feature Misnomer's project with Bjork, and the New York Times visits Misnomer's office. Stay tuned! We're thrilled to be part of this great community and can't wait to hear from you!!!
Best,
Chris
