The LiftOff Residency takes place at NDA’s Studio in Tribeca and provides six physical-based performance artists with 30 hours of rehearsal space each, an introductory meeting, and two feedback sessions. This residency is for artists looking to join a small cohort of artists to share and give feedback on each other’s work.
You must be a New York City based artist in order to apply.
Past LiftOff residents are eligible to apply after two years of their program participation. The residency is only available for solo artists, or groups with up to 4 artists.
The reviewing panel will select two cohorts:
Fall/Winter and Winter/Spring.
The residency offers a $500 stipend.

“Performance Mix is such a great resource, and I was really grateful to be supported in presenting two of my works this year! I think the real multiplicity of artists involved in all senses is a continued strength of the program.”
