Wrapping up Fortune’s Brainstorm:Tech

Our three days at the Fortune Magazine Brainstorm:Tech conference were tremendous. We had great conversations with thoughtful leaders ranging from executives at leading internet companies — such as Google, MySpace, and Yahoo — to inspiring social entrepreneurs running innovative non-profits including Kiva.org and Donorschoose.org. You’ve got to love a conference that programs the CEO of [...]

Bjork + Misnomer : Behind-the-Scenes

We went behind the scenes of Bjork’s new 3-D music video “Wanderlust” to catch Misnomer in action during filming. “Wanderlust” features choreography by Misnomer’s Chris Elam, and performances by two Misnomer dancers, Brynne Billingsley and Coco Karo. If you can’t watch the video above, here is a direct link to the video. For other Bjork related [...]

The Young Dance Collective performance

We’ve seen some of the past work by the Young Dance Collective, and thought it would be nice to bring them to your attention in case you don’t know about them already. This group of young choreographers and dancers are remarkably advanced for their age, and they defy expectations. We haven’t seen this program yet, [...]

On the sound- more often than not I was on the phone and/or had the audio muted, so I didn't notice the sound issues. How did you mic it?

Blog also looks good. Simple, elegant design which works better than odd shades or bright colors. Some of the navigation might need to be tweaked (I would make the links to video, pictures, etc a little more obvious), but I think the content model appears to be in good shape.

At 9:57am on March 7th, 2008, Ashley A. Friend said…: Hi! Great! Thanks for asking... I wanted to send something out here... perhaps on the blog...? Well, I'm performing a new piece, it's a solo called ID and it's at 45 minutes. I talk about it a bit in the video I just posted a couple days ago. It's on Sunday at Three if you could come that would be so great, and introduce yourself, there's coffee & cookies after. I'm starting to get nervous...!

At 12:14am on December 5th, 2007, Ashley A. Friend said…: Interesting... well, perhaps we should start a dance-tech group in 2nd life--- there probably is one already, ha. Let's go meet there for some coffee! Well, I think in 2L I'll be Kurt Cobain, so don't be too suprised if you find that a passionately despondent sexy pink haired guy with a book waiting. ha.

At 9:20pm on December 4th, 2007, Ashley A. Friend said…: Crazy... shall we join the 12-17 year olds in creating content?
From my experience with interractive performance with the youtubey community... you are right... I did have to entice a few of my favorites, but for the most part people were excited to tell me about their opinions on dance and do a dance (if they felt like it)... the thing is... I wasn't asking much of this lazy-stayathome-askpeopletopresspaypall-community, you have to pick your forums, are you involved with 2nd life at all? I'm very curious about that place...?
