A Big Thank You & LiftOff/Performance Mix Application

April 23, 2013  | emily  | General

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
