Alison Clancy is a multivalent artist in pursuit of beauty and collective catharsis. Most days start with ballet and end with electric guitar. A prolific dancer, choreographer and musician, Alison collaborates with many of NYC's major cultural institutions.

 

Haunting solo music performances weave tapestries of looped electric guitar into expansive, brooding drone-psyche Americana. Incantatory vocals reveal delicate beauty and gritty volatility. Alison summons the ghosts from the machines. Performances often incorporate expressionistic choreography performed by stunningly virtuosic dancers. Alison's choreography is informed by a deep aesthetic relationship with classical ballet, but subverts technique in exploration of primordial life force and sensuality, illuminating the authority of each body's authentic story.
