" Lumbering tech giant Hewlett-Packard is a company that desperately 
needs new ideas. Von Hansen, the company's general manager of future 
technologies, has been working with TMP almost quarterly since 2008. He 
says working with the dancers "pulls our staff out of the same way we do 
things so that we can better design solutions and solve problems."

TMP's dancers show up at HP's headquarters -- sometimes unannounced -- 
and break into a performance right by employee cubicles. Afterward, the 
dancers lead employees through a discussion of the creative process and 
how a dance is created and refined."
