PMF40 is coming up fast! June is just around the corner…
In just 3 weeks, we will be kicking off our 40th annual Performance Mix Festival in the Underground Theater at Abrons Arts Center! We’re rounding up some of the most compelling voices in experimental dance today. Some have been in the NDA community for decades, while others are new friends.
Here is an exclusive sneak peek of what the PMF40 Artists have been cooking up for you…
The 40th Annual Performance Mix lineup is now live!
This June, we are celebrating 40 years of Performance Mix Festival. Our highly anticipated Performance Mix 40 will bring together over 35 artists at the Underground Theater at Abrons Arts Center.
Both Festival alumni and emerging artists were invited to perform at this year’s Mix. Join us to experience some of the most compelling contemporary voices in experimental performance!
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 Fall/Winter 2025 LiftOff final studio showing was full of exciting developments!
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.
“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!”
