Just like that, we close our 40th year of Performance Mix Festival. Thank you for joining us!
We had the best time putting on our 40th annual Performance Mix at Abrons Arts Center this year, and hope you got to experience some of the outstanding performance art that was shared in the Underground Theater.
NDA deeply thanks you for coming out to support the 30+ performance artists that presented a wide range of works, pushing the boundaries of genre and discipline.

Looking back on a whirlwind of performance happenings…
Thursday kicked off the Festival…
IV Castellanos opened the season with Leche Hervida en Vivo.
Ursula Eagly presented Performance Mix’s first ever commission!
Friday was packed with happenings…
The annual Breakfast Mix was followed by a hoop workshop, led by Elena Lev.
The day culminated with two stunning programs in the Underground Theater.
The Saturday Night Special was followed by our 40th anniversary celebration…
Karen Bernard returned to the stage to present Rheumatica, while Dorian Nuskind-Oder, Simon Grenier-Poirier , along with Elena Lev presented Looper.
It was a wonderful evening shared with friends of NDA!
We wish to thank Grandaisy Bakery, Quebec Government Office in New York and Duane Patisserie for the wonderful anniversary cake, and DJ Rectum for bringing the vibes.
Sunday closed the Festival with back-to-back performances…
Sunday was a smörgåsbord of presentations at the Underground Theater. With 4 programs, all in the same day, we were left feeling very full of art and inspiration!

“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.”
