“Showcases have long been a fact of life in New York dance. The effect tends to be a somewhat haphazard cramming together of artists chosen by audition. But the Performance Mix Festival has always been a showcase of a different sort, reflecting the personal taste of a director, Karen Bernard, who is herself a practicing performance artist.” Jennifer Dunning, New York Times

“The Performance Mix Festival does what it says – mixing performance with everything around us.  For Bernard abstract is okay, but telling a subtle story about being human seems crucial.” Marilyn Russo, Attitude Magazine

“Layard Thompson—shape shifting dancer and Deborah Hay mentee–stood head and fairy-dusted shoulders above anyone else on the Performance Mix program this week at Joyce SoHo.” Eva Yaa Asantewaa, InfiniteBody

“Hopping, sliding bumping and shimmying, listening to everything from hip-hop and psychedelic to Israeli pop, they spread out around the massive sculpture at the sourthern end of the park, lost in their rhythmic worlds.” Carl Glassman, The Tribeca Trib
