NDA is proud and excited to present another extraordinary group of wildly different creators and performers. Maybe it’s the zeitgeist, a common thread searching for a sense of place in a chaotic universe—and execution that highlights the power of their expression.
This adventurous four-day festival brings together 30 artists with varied approaches to performance, inviting audiences to engage with the unexpected and to experience some of the newest voices in experimental dance. The 2022 festival is curated by NDA founder and Director Karen Bernard and artist panel: Martita Abril, Leslie Cuyjet, Camilo Godoy, Johnnie Cruise Mercer, and Marion Spencer.
Malcolm-x Betts, Alexa West, K.J. Holmes, and Rafael Cañals Pérez are the NDA Spring 2022 LiftOff Residency recipients. The LiftOff Residency takes place at NDA’s Studio in Tribeca and provides four physical-based performance artists with a minimum of 36 hours of rehearsal space, a $500 stipend and monthly Work Sessions.

“Thank you thank you and thank you to everyone who made this residency (Black Artist Space to Create) possible. These past two weeks have been a blessing! Not only have I been able to deepen my own personal/artistic practices, I was given the space to connect with people that I love! I was given space to reflect on love, and to prepare for what this next year (2021) will bring! Shout out to New Dance Alliance, Modern Accord Depot and Angie Pittman for the time, the space, and opportunity! I am forever grateful! It felt like a good meal, with dessert!”
