The 36th annual PERFORMANCE MIX FESTIVAL was held earlier this month at Abrons Arts Center, as part of the @Abrons Series. “All in all, a thoroughly entertaining night at a performance festival whose work feels necessary, not only for an audience but also for the development of the presenting artists.” (Noah Witke Mele, Eye on Dance). This four-day festival featured 12 shows and work from more than 35 New York-based and international artists. Learn more →

Ama Ma’at Gora and Kayla Hamilton were also featured in this year’s Performance Mix Festival. Learn more →

“This current global situation is immensely sad and challenging, including the necessary cancellations/ postponements/ restructuring of opportunities, but we are so grateful for how you and the Performance Mix #34: Remotely Yours team has honored all of the artists involved – artistically, financially, and emotionally. In these uncertain, confusing times, we feel taken care of & clearly communicated with. Thank you.”
