Performance Mix Festival #39 is around the corner!
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
While the PM #39 Artists are putting in the hours to prepare for this year’s Festival, we are giving you a sneak peek of some of the work you’ll see at Abrons Arts Center this June…
Pictured: Cristina Moya-Palacios presents a work in progress version of ‘All Immerican Dream Girl!’ for the 2025 Leadership Brunch Audience.
Cristina Moya-Palacios’s All Immerican Dream Girl! aims to shine a light on the complexity of the immigrant experience in the United States by commenting on “The American Dream” from the perspective of a Latina “Dreamer” or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient. Through overwhelming bouts of extreme physicality, gestural sequences, and social dance sections that never seem to settle, viewers enter a simulation of the taxing cycles, frustrating resets and restarts, unraveling, and inability to move forward that the immigration process entails. She takes us on a journey to nowhere with completely pathless attempts at assimilation that ultimately lead to a reckoning of the crumbling facade this empire has tried to sell us.
Don’t miss Cristina’s work on Sunday, June 8th, Program D.

This year’s festival brings together 40 experimental performance, sound and film artists pushing the boundaries of cultural diversity. We will gather at the Underground Theater at Abrons Arts Center for four days of thought-provoking work that will elevate your spirits.
The end of the year is a time of reflection for New Dance Alliance.

As we look ahead to our 39th Performance Mix Festival (June 5-8, 2025), we’re pausing to think deeply about where we’ve come from, where we’re going and what makes our work possible.
Where have we come from?

“Performance Mix Festival has its own life, and Karen and the staff continue to evolve with the times in a way I appreciate…it was tremendous to be a Liftoff AIR and then get to show the work I had continued to explore as an AIR a year later at PMF!”
