‘No plan b’ cross-genre performance to premiere at Fort Knox
“No plan b,” a cross-genre collaboration of movement, light, projection and sound, will premiere at Fort Knox and Penobscot Narrows Bridge and Observatory in Prospect on Aug. 24.
The innovative production’s mix of art and technology has been under development for more than a year and was made possible by a research residency at the University of Maine’s Intermedia MFA program. The residency allowed Gene Felice, director of the Coaction Lab at UMaine, and choreographer Alison Chase to collaborate in the creation of the light, immersive projections and surround sound for the piece. The original music for “no plan b” was created by Franz Nicolay.
Following four performances at Fort Knox, “no plan b” will be presented at Thompson’s Point in Portland with three performances beginning Aug. 31. “no plan b” will be held within a tent, which serves as a canvas for the production, and enables the performances to be held rain or shine.
Tickets are $25 and are available online and at the door. Ticket holders are encouraged to come early for refreshments; the venues open at 6 p.m. with performances beginning at 8 p.m.
