“Rules are made to be broken in the Performance Mix Festival, where the artists explore the rarefied air where the wacky and the engaging never meet.”
—The New York Times
Thirty-three eclectic artists present work that sets out in new directions, challenges the definition of dance, and takes us out of our comfort zones. Performance Mix, more than just a festival, is a community of dance, performance, and video artists from contrasting backgrounds and genres. And you are invited to visit.
All venues are wheelchair accessible.
