Lendava
D’clinic
Lendava is a very quiet place – it took me one week to find a restaurant open in the evening – and it is a good walking distance to counter a big dinner of local cuisine – did I say cuisine – mmmmmmmmm I have slowed down and the sun is out and Lendava is full of surprises. Now that two artists have left I am the new kid on the block and have my own space in the front gallery. In a residency it is hard to anticipate how things will go, as I delve further into “Suspending and Other Tricks” – or you might say tripping and falling. I have given in to two challenges, first, a problem editing video and sound on my new laptop – answer: that corny song will not be made “cool” – I’m giving in to corny; and second, artists working in the next studio – I have accepted three weeks of voyeurism, mine and theirs.

Dear friends,
Thank you to all the artists, the production team, audience members, and supporters for creating an amazing week of performances! It was truly a “Mix”—from the abstract to emotional journeys to contact improvisation to the startling world of women tap dancers and flamenco artistry.
You might ask, “Does the Performance Mix Festival have an aesthetic voice?” Last week’s performances demonstrate that it has many—recounting the history of artists who began working in the 70s to young artists making it on the scene today. What they have in common is fresh work that takes a risk and moves us.
Many thanks,
Karen Bernard, Director
