Note: Artists must have previously produced two works in order to participate.
LiftOff Workshops strive to create a safe and intimate space to receive feedback that supports the artist’s aesthetics and explore resources to enable project development. The workshop encourages dance and performance that explores cross over disciplines such as spoken word, visual art, video and sound manipulation. The group has a limited number of participants in order to allow for short and longer works to be shared and to promote dialogue. During the workshop three guests from the “industry” are invited to participate in the feedback process including choreographers, performance artists, composers, lighting designers, visual artists and presenters.

This Giving Tuesday, help New Dance Alliance grow the programs that help artists grow. For 30 years we’ve been nurturing hundreds of artists through:
our celebrated festival offering fully produced performance opportunities to emerging and established artists across disciplines
supporting creative process with affordable workspace amidst a shrinking market
offering a mix of creative and business support for emerging and mid-career artists through workshops, consultations and a generous residency
Karen Bernard’s uncompromising body of solo work continues to challenge expectations of what women artists can be and do on stage. Her formidable presence and committed vision has inspired new generations of creators for over three decades.
Applications are now being accepted for the 31st Annual Performance Mix Festival, to be held in spring 2017 (dates and venue TBA).
The Performance Mix Festival presents physically based experimental performance, as well as video works. We program works up to 15 minutes for one evening, but we will consider longer works, as well as multiple performances. Artists receive a fee, complimentary video documentation, and rehearsal space.
The application deadline is October 3, 2016.
Previous Performance Mix Festival artists should wait one year before reapplying.
Archive of my work
I have three weeks to go before my residency ends in Venice through the Emily Harvey Foundation. My project is to look at digitized videos of my work going back to the 80’s. You can see that I am only on file 5 with 11 files to go and each file has individual works and full length shows. Although I feel like I need to see all the videos before I leave, I may not make it. What has happened is my mind being filled with memories. I have connected with people involved in the works by sending them edited footage. I am also being my own critic. Sometimes the work urges me to want to recreate them or better yet rework them… but some of the work is damn embarrassing. I shared so many intimate stories. Read more

“I am honored to have performed at the Performance Mix 37…PMF plays a very inspiring, influential, and unique role in redefining the role of theater and performance art in society. I hope we continue to think about how this festival means so much not only for dance fans/ students, but for art lovers and the general public.”
