Review: PLOT
Dance Truck brings Blake Beckham’s bleak, gorgeous vision to life
- Karley Sullivan
- Emily Christianson, Camille Jackson, and Alisa Mittin perform in the opening scene of Dance Truck’s production of Blake Beckham’s PLOT at the Goat Farm.
Any performance that begins with audience members signing waivers (the Goat Farm is an old property and you’re warned not to wander off) is bound to have its morbid, disturbing moments, and PLOT provides them in abundance. With PLOT, choreographer Blake Beckham shares her vision of the simultaneously tenacious and fragile—distinct but intermingled—phases of nature’s cycles. This is not “nature red in tooth and claw.” This is nature green and vital with the weeds that will one day bloom out of your decaying skull. Wear comfortable shoes.
