Performance Mix is a vital platform for artists who challenge convention and embrace artistic risk-taking. Described by The New York Times as “the most elaborate festival of the unpredictable,” this four-day festival brings together more than 35 artists with deeply personal and expansive approaches to performance, inviting audiences to engage with some of the most compelling voices in experimental dance today.
The 2026 festival is curated by New Dance Alliance Artistic and Executive Director Karen Bernard, Managing Director Alexandra Doyle, and artist panel Lindsey Barlag Thorton, Kyle Marshall, Nubian Néné, Lisa Parra, and Alexa West.

“The festival was such a wonderfully supportive community of artists to perform amongst and a generous audience as well. The performances were inspiring and exceptionally well-run, which I appreciated.”
