Interview with Dance Enthusiast & PMF39 Artist Lara Kramer
Lara Kramer discusses the deep personal and cultural roots of her work “Gorgeous Tongue”, which she will perform at this year’s Performance Mix Festival as part of the Saturday Night Special.
“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.”
