“I’m really glad that Performance Mix #34: Remotely Yours turned out to be so productive for me. I was able to wrap my head around the ideas that were all circling in my head.”

Join us tonight for the opening of Performance Mix Festival: 33!
Tonight, Thursday, June 6th! Featuring performances by:
Program A | 7:00 PM
Audrée Juteau
With her work The Strange Strangers, Audrée Juteau proposes a singular meeting place between dance and animism. Human bodies and inanimate objects interact unpredictably, melting into one another, morphing into ghostly forms. Juteau investigates the strangeness of our surrounding environment, human and non-human, while discovering some of its unexpected facets.
Michele Beck
Moving Bodies is an investigation of movement as an instrument. Michele Beck utilizes video to explore the ambiguous bodily relationships between active and passive roles. Repetition and sound created through the performers’ movement become an accompanying instrument in the piece, together composing a narrative that responds to the rhythmic changes on video.
Linda Austin and Allie Hankins
Linda Austin and Allie Hankins collapse, expand, and steal time, traveling across landscapes filled with seemingly incongruous concepts, structures, desires, and energies. Inspired by surrealist artists Gertrude Abercrombie and Leonora Carrington, and Jen George’s “uncanny fictive spaces,” The Traveler and the Thief juxtaposes movement, object, words, and song to celebrate and/or bemoan the unstable and precarious grounds of existence.
Tickets for program A: $15 | Save with a ticket pass to both programs: $20

Help Support LiftOff
Up until now, our LiftOff Creative and Project Development Residency has taken place each summer during August and has supported three to five artists at a time. Over the past few years, we have seen our LiftOff residents achieve great success with the work they created during their time in our TriBeCa studio.
This year, we have decided to expand our residency program to give more artists the opportunity to participate in this process-focused performance incubator. We have added two additional residency months, tripling the number of artists benefiting from free studio space, creative feedback sessions, and project development support.
We believe that expanding our LiftOff residency program will better fit the current needs of artists in our community, aligning with our mission to actively promote emerging forms of innovative dance, music, video, and interdisciplinary performance. But for this expansion to be a success, NDA is asking for your help!
Historically, the operation of the LiftOff Creative and Project Development Residency has been expensive. And, now that we have expanded our program, financially supporting this component of New Dance Alliance is more challenging than ever! Our $5,000 goal will ensure the successful function of New Dance Alliance and the LiftOff Creative and Project Development Residency throughout the summer.
