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 up to 4 artists.
The reviewing panel will select two cohorts:

“I am honored to have performed at the Performance Mix 37…PMF plays a very inspiring, influential, and unique role in redefining the role of theater and performance art in society. I hope we continue to think about how this festival means so much not only for dance fans/ students, but for art lovers and the general public.”
