LiftOff Workshops and Residency

New Dance Alliance’s newest program, LiftOff held 10-week workshops in fall/winter and winter/spring to enrich artists’ creative practice and business acumen. In addition, LiftOff sponsors a small number of performing artists for a residency each summer – see below for our 2015 selections!

Subsidized Rehearsal Space

Thanks to the generosity of the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, New York State Arts Council, New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, and the Mertz-Gilmore Foundation, we are able to continue to offer low-cost rehearsal space to artists. We appreciate everyone who has made use of our space!

“It was a pleasure and an honor to be part of Performance Mix Festivals #31 (Infinite Corridor) and #36 (Meeting the Moai: Head Over Heels.) In both instances, the artists were made to feel welcomed and truly celebrated for their work, as reflected by attention to publicity, technical needs, and convivial gatherings. This festival truly practices diversity, equity, and inclusion, as manifested in their roster of performing artists each year. Big thanks to New Dance Alliance, Karen Bernard, and the entire Performance Mix Festival team who make it such a fulfilling and joyful experience for artists and audiences alike.”
