Our mission, from its earliest days, has been to nurture experimental movement-based artists, and bring their works to life. NDA has an explicit commitment to equity and inclusion of historically marginalized Black, Brown, and queer innovators. We provide space, residencies, and performance opportunities to help artists cultivate relationships, develop their work, and share their inventions with the world.

“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.”
