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 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.
In early February, the artists wrapped up their residencies with a final studio showing. Artists shared some powerful works in progress, followed by a discussion moderated by Executive Director Karen Bernard and board member Lisa Parra.
We can’t to see the LiftOff Artists’ finished works at Performance Mix Festival #40 in June, at Abrons Arts Center! Stay tuned for more.
Dear Friend of NDA,
As the holiday season is in full swing, we wish to reflect on the joys and challenges brought by this year. We saw a wonderful year of programming and community engagement, most notably with a jam-packed celebration at the 39th annual Performance Mix Festival in June! NDA was also able to continue our Satellite space grant Program, LiftOff Residencies, BASC (Black Artists Space to Create) and WORKSession.
NDA thanks you for your support, in any capacity, of our unwavering commitment to creating career development opportunities for artists and diversity in the arts. In these times, when funding for the arts becomes increasingly at risk, we need our communities to be as resilient as ever. As we enter our 40th year of Performance Mix Festival programming, your support is as vital as ever before.

“This current global situation is immensely sad and challenging, including the necessary cancellations/ postponements/ restructuring of opportunities, but we are so grateful for how you and the Performance Mix #34: Remotely Yours team has honored all of the artists involved – artistically, financially, and emotionally. In these uncertain, confusing times, we feel taken care of & clearly communicated with. Thank you.”
