Artwork by Cat Elia

At the confluence of dance and musical performance, you’ll find Alison Clancy, a multi-talented artist, ballet dancer, and singer-songwriter. This week on the Puddcast, you can hear Alison talk about her very spiritual relationship with her art, from the physical sensation she has performing to the way she felt the presence of ghosts when recording her song “Mutant Gifts” in a church in New York that she held residency in. This is a very deep, thoughtful episode about our relationship with art, both as performers and as audience members. 

You can see Alison perform at MIT on May 6th, when she will be dancing as part of an interpretation Wagner’s The Flying Dutchman “as you’ve never seen or heard it before.” Get your tickets here.
