What did everyone think of Misnomer?

I really liked Being Together. Rock.Paper.Flock was my favorite section. Most of it was improv, but it was structured enough not to be awkward, even with things like "Be a bowling trophy" and "Draw on the back wall" as directions given to the dancers by the choreographer, Chris Elam, who remained onstage the entire time.

This is one of those pieces, like Cedar Lake's DECADANCE, that will sound really horrible when I try to describe what happened in them, but was actually really really good. I went in to this having no prior experiences with the company and no expectations. Their dancing, especially partnering, blew me away. Coco Karol, Dorian Nuskind-Oder, and Luke Gutgsell were definitely the standouts of the night.

All of the dancers had exquisite technique and skill. The lighting, costuming, and choreography were also great. They pulled off dark lights without inhibiting the sight of the audience.

Because of some technical/feed problems, I barely saw any of the third piece Zipper, but from what I understand, the video from tonight will be available at the Misnomer website until the end of the year so hopefully anyone who missed out will be able to watch the end.

Did anyone else watch the performance (live, or broadcast online)? What did you think of it?

Stay on your toes,

Selly
