I want to thank you (Karen Bernard) so much for including my work in the Performance Mix Festival and for everything NDA did to make the experience special. Rehearsing at NDA was so wonderful and fruitful for me. I loved being able to see other shows in the festival. I wish I could have seen them all, everything sounded fascinating! The whole production and support team was great to work with and really supportive. Kathryn Butler’s photos are gorgeous. I really have nothing but good things to say about the whole experience.
