This June, we presented numerous indoor and outdoor performances as part of our 36th Annual Performance Mix Festival held at Abrons Arts Center, as part of the @Abrons Series. The festival featured 12 shows between Thursday and Sunday, featuring work from more than 35 artists. We saw a variety of exciting and innovative works from New York-based and international artists. Thank you so much to everyone who helped make this weekend successful!
“All in all, a thoroughly entertaining night at a performance festival whose work feels necessary, not only for an audience but also for the development of the presenting artists.”
“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!”
