Misnomer has put together a proposal to build online tools for the dance world. Now, we have a shot at making that a reality, through IdeaBlob (a site to win $ for your ideas). I believe that the internet has created new opportunities for artists who continually struggle to find funding. Now, we need help proving that's true. 

This round of voting ends December 7th, so we need your support today! With your vote and this $10k, we'll be creating exciting ways for people to discover arts online!

Chris has a background in computer science, and I have a background in Arts and Technology. We both have a deep interest in helping the performing arts effectively utilize the web to develop lasting relationships with audiences online. Our initial efforts were featured in Business Week Magazine, so we know we are building something useful. With your help, we can help artists across the board while building the arts community! We're asking readers on Great Dance and beyond to support our idea on IdeaBlob!

What will Misnomer do if we win $10,000 for this idea?

Your vote will help us

1) BUILD web-streaming capabilities for rehearsals enabling audiences to "attend" live rehearsals online and interact directly with artists.

2) CREATE an online theater in which visitors can watch and direct performances from multiple perspectives including back stage views, and performers' point of view via body mounted cameras.

3) DEVELOP tools to request and display the geography of artist's online audiences. Venues in new cities can then have ready-made audience bases.

We hope these online tools will help transform artist's websites into sites of participation.

We anticipate this will create great impact in the arts world!
