Dancing on the Edge of Summer — Alison Chase's 'NO PLAN B' takes over Thompson's Point

 

This weekend, the choreographer Alison Chase and her dance company, Alison Chase/Performance, take over Thompson’s Point for a multimedia tent show, merging her team of six trained contemporary dancers with sound and visual design from some unexpected sources.

Teaming with multi-instrumentalist Franz Nicolay, who played with rock group The Hold Steady as well as vaudeville-punk group World/Inferno Friendship Society; and video artist Gene Felice, director of the University of Maine’s CoAction Lab, the cohort have originated NO PLAN B, an immersive event that may help illuminate and excavate the charged emotional landscape of summer of 2017.
