We now have funds towards performers’ rehearsal and performance fees. But there’s still time to give – donations are accepted through October 31, 2014. Further donations will go towards production expenses and video documentation.
This week we’re featuring the reperformance of “Strange Dear” created and performed by Karen Bernard in 1995 with costume by Liz Prince and reperformed by Jil Guyon.
“Love, sex, money and marriage. I feel privileged to have been given the opportunity to explore the longings and contradictions of desire with an expressiveness that both relates to and departs from my own. Karen’s input and encouragement throughout the process has made this performance a great deal of fun to perform and I’m looking forward to the performance evenings.”
—Jil Guyon

The second piece is the premiere of Bernard’s Suspending and Other Tricks follows: We are taken on a voyeuristic journey, sharing a birds-eye view from outside an arched window to the inside of a room where Bernard grapples with the limitations of aging and mortality.

“Performance Mix Festival has its own life, and Karen and the staff continue to evolve with the times in a way I appreciate…it was tremendous to be a Liftoff AIR and then get to show the work I had continued to explore as an AIR a year later at PMF!”
