Support New Dance Alliance’s 35th Anniversary Performance Mix Festival!
Especially this year, we ask you to dig a little deeper. The pandemic has put NDA in an incredibly precarious financial position. We had to cancel the live Performance Mix last year and instead hosted a free virtual event, Performance Mix Festival 34: Remotely Yours. This year, we are entering a new endeavor to hold the festival live outdoors. It is important to us to continue providing adequate payment and free space to artists participating in our programs. With your support and our established history, we know we will overcome these challenges, continue to strengthen our infrastructure and run necessary programming, and provide meaningful fees to the artists.

“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.”
