NO FACE PERFORMANCE GROUP: THE TOP

May 26 - 28, 2016

THE TOP is an investigation of the bare minimum needed to sustain a dance, a performance, an audience's attention and focus, by the Philadelphia-based No Face Performance Group (Jaime Maseda and Mark McCloughan). Interrogating the tension between stillness and motion, minimalism and dynamism, silence and pop music, the piece invites viewers into a relationship with the performers that is at once open, direct, intimate, and confrontational. It toes the delicate line between dancing for others and dancing alone with grace, humor, and style, exploring how these presences can co-exist together in public.

No Face Performance Group is the collaborative project of artists Jaime Maseda and Mark McCloughan. Working as a duo and with a revolving group of associate artists, they make performance using a wide variety of processes and sources. Since the group was founded in 2007, it has created 15 original works. Most recently, No Face premiered the first two installments of Abbot Adam (a performance series about desire, devotion, and deviant medieval nuns) at FringeArts in Philadelphia.
