TONIGHT! Kick off your weekend with another set of compelling performances, taking place at Abrons Arts Center. Program A starts at 7pm and Program B at 8:30pm. Come to one, or both!
Tatiana Desardouin & K’niin Abbrey/Passion Fruit Dance Company present RESONANCE. In this work, two bodies meet sound as if it could listen, respond, and remember. This work imagines music as a living presence—one that speaks through movement, resonance, and shared breath. Choreography by Tatiana Desardouin. Music production: K’niin “TPM” Abbrey.
Rosy Simas (Seneca Nation of Indians) presents a dance for five performers that she describes as “a movement between the stars and the earth to generate peace.”
Nami Yamamoto presents Future Memory. This work began with a conversation with a childhood friend about their aging mothers. Witnessing this fragility showed a reflection of their own futures and compelled Yamamoto to confront time—how the past, present, and future must be held, lived, and relived in our bodies. Through improvisational practices such as “body memoirs” and “future memories,” the dancers transform their bodies into vessels of soulful movement. The project continues to evolve as an embodied reflection on how memory, dream, hope, tragedy, and loneliness move, collide, and erode through time and the body.
James Barrett presents Panoramic Fashion. Five performers croon and shout after a fleshy landscape. They collectively search for, question, and exaggerate their own senses of self. Muscles contract and expand and emptiness billows in the room.
Stacy Grossfield presents redux, a fusion of beauty, the grotesque, the intensely visual, the expressive and mysterious, something disconnected yet integrated into a web of shifting meanings.
Christopher “Unpezverde” Núñez presents Cadaver Dog, a work that deals with the relentless search for something lost, hidden, or dead within our body as a living geopolitical state and the haunted nature of our own mortality.

“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!”
