Alison Chase/Performance’s "no plan b" to premiere late August in two Maine locations: Fort Knox and Thompson’s Point

 

BROOKSVILLE, Maine -– Alison Chase/Performance in collaboration with Gene Felice/Coaction Lab and multi-instrumentalist and composer Franz Nicolay are excited to present the world premiere of "no plan b", a cross genre collaboration of movement, light, projection, and sound.

 

This collaborative and fully immersive production explores the potential of combining art and technology and has been under development for over a year. A collaborative research residency, made possible through the UMaine Intermedia MFA program allowed Gene Felice, director of the Coaction Lab at UMaine and choreographer Alison Chase to collaborate and explore the creative potential of light, immersive projection, and surround sound for this unique production. Original music for no plan b is composed New York City based composer, Franz Nicolay, best known for his role musicianship in the cabaret-punk World/Inferno Friendship Society.

 

Alison Chase, Artistic Director states, “There are many voices in this collaboration, making this a rich piece, and very different from anything I have created before. This cross-genre tent event incorporates cutting edge art, entertainment, creative innovation, and new technologies. It truly promises to an unusual multi-media experience that is not to be missed!”
