Montreal-based artist Lara Kramer will be hosting Unfolding Time: A Creative Workshop following this year’s Breakfast Mix!
Working with temporality, we will give time to deceleration to allow new and old embodied knowledge and awareness to unfold, exploring a personal rigorous approach to minimalism. Underlying the creative workshop is a desire for experiential play, storytelling and sharing between us will strive to be open-ended, offering an invitation for reciprocity.
Space is limited, so an RSVP is mandatory. Please email admin@newdancealliance.org to reserve your place for both the Breakfast Mix and workshop.
Breakfast Mix: June 6th, 2025, 10am-12pm.
Workshop: June 6th, 2025, 12pm-2pm.
NDA Loft, 182 Duane Street.
RSVP today!
New Dance Alliance views the function of supporting experimental performance works as carrying forward a distinct heritage of art in America. From Isadora Duncan and her shoeless dances to John Cage and his amplified toasters to Jennifer Monson and her migration projects, American artists have been privileged in their Constitutional right to defy conventions. NDA continues this American legacy by making an explicit commitment to equity and inclusion and creating programs that center the work of artists from historically marginalized communities of color, LGBTQ artists, and artists with disabilities. As testimony to its efforts, NDA claims a roster of over 1,000 artists who have pioneered new methods in artistic creation. These artists have distinct voices within shared genres and have often gone on to become award-winning leaders in the field.
The festival has grown to include artists from around the globe, including South Africa, Canada, Europe, and South America. This year, we have partnered with Québec-based Ciné-Corps to bring international film to our Lower East Side community.
By holding annual Performance Mix Festivals, NDA brings together artists of diverse backgrounds and aesthetics to connect with the downtown art scene, year after year. Our community continues to expand, encompassing an ever-widening perspective of the artistic experience!

“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!”
