“These evenings of dance, music and performance art pieces are often like extended conversations with new and old friends.”
Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times
“[Performance Mix] honor[s] roots and breed[s] new strains”
Deborah Jowitt, Village Voice
“…bold new inventions at the cutting edge where language is concerned more broadly with the populist body. Bernard succeeded in putting together a large variety of works that demonstrated a new innocence in self-exposure, incorporating a wide range of emotions without falling into sentimentality.”
Lisa Paul Streitfeld, NYArts
New Dance Alliance (NDA), in association with Joyce SoHo, will presents the annual Performance Mix Festival. The festival promotes experimental work through a collective series of events presenting new explorations in dance, music, video and interdisciplinary performance by emerging and mid-career choreographers.
NDA is proud of its twenty two-year festival history and the compelling legacy of its curatorial vision. Developed as a way to demystify and expose the public to experimental work, Performance Mix has been able to bring together hundreds of choreographers, composers, and dancers with thousands of engaged viewers. Both artists and audiences represent a wide range of cultural backgrounds, aesthetic preferences and experience levels. This has created an energetic blend both backstage, on stage and during post-performance discussions that fulfills our mission of creating a supportive environment for new artistic innovation.
The Festival offers many benefits in addition to the performance itself for participating artists. Marketing: Through advanced selection and planning, NDA is able to promote artists for a full year via the NDA website and through mailings to the press, benefactors, and presenters. Performance Development: Prior to their performance, artists are offered free rehearsal space. Funding: All artists receive a stipend for their participation. Touring and Residencies: Touring and Residencies: Artists are encouraged to submit proposals to NDA for additional support through our Exchange Programs with the Community Education Center in Philadelphia, Studio 303 in Montreal, Earthdance in Plainfield, MA, and White Oak in Yulee, FL. Documentation: Artists receive complimentary professional level video documentation and optional photographic documentation of their work in the festival.
A further goal of Performance Mix is to promote peer resource sharing. During the festival, NDA hosts a series of informal and formal events that encourage interaction among participants. In 2005 NDA developed a networking series called Breakfast Mix. The series is a panel-led, interactive discussion focusing critically on multi-faceted challenges to performance artists. Discussions are structured as an exchange of information about artistic process and career opportunities and have included topics such as Festival Networking, The Pros and Cons of Curation and Non-Curation, and Grassroots Touring.. The Breakfast Mix is facilitated by NDA’s Director and chaired by leaders in the field of dance, including presenters, academics, managers, and choreographers. Breakfast Mix is held for festival participants and is always free and open to the public.
Application for Performance Mix Festival will be available in March and due June 1
