On Jan 23rd, I will have the pleasure of returning to Mamaroneck, where I went to High School, to perform with my company Misnomer Dance Theater at the Emelin Theater. Having toured in 11 countries, at 250 theaters, it's exciting to return to past memories, and friends whom I haven't seen for quite some time.

Mamaroneck High School is where I discovered dance, in the PACE performing arts program. At the time, I didn't realize that it would become my life. I remember fondly seeing shows at the Emelin at that time, just ten minutes from school.



The dances that I will be sharing on the 23rd are a cross-section of the years of my work, including pieces developed as far back as 1998 to a new piece developed during these past few months.

I look forward to sharing the art with new faces and hopefully to seeing some old friends. If you want to linger after the performance to say hello, I'd be delighted.

You can get a taste for our work at misnomer.org or at aeplatform.org.

Looking forward,

Chris Elam
