Monday, April 8, following the 7pm performance at The Flea Theater
An artist/audience gathering to celebrate the Festival.
Thursday, April 11th, 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM at The Flea Theater
Join us for breakfast and “Out of Town Artists’ Forum and Performance Away: Beyond The Site of Production” – A panel discussion facilitated by [popup url=”https://newdancealliance.org/performance-mix-festival/artist-roster/robert-tyree/”]Robert Tyree[/popup], Mix artist and writer from Portland, Oregon, with guest artist Jaamil Kosoko, Producing Associate – Humanities and Engagement at New York Live and a panel of Mix national and international artists. The panel will discuss: How does performance circulate? What moves work beyond its site of production-and to what end? Can artists and organizations outside major markets thrive in minor market conditions-perhaps through regional performance circuits-to counter the sometimes meager incentives of one city, one weekend runs? What good does it do to “leave home”? Following the Panel, we will enjoy a performance of an excerpt from [popup url=”https://newdancealliance.org/performance-mix-festival/artist-roster/mayday/”]Mayday[/popup]’s Goodbye.
Breakfast Mix is hosted by the Cultural Government of Quebec in New York.
Tickets: Free! Please RSVP to info@newdancealliance.org

We’re reaching the end of my campaign – it’s your last chance to support my work! A huge thanks to 52 amazing donors who have supported my newest project “Suspending and Other Tricks”. The donations I’ve received so far have helped me reach 73% of my goal!

“Suspending and Other Tricks: Preliminary Research and Development” is the first stage of my next exploration as I continue to work at redefining choreography for solo dance, and more audaciously, at redefining who dancers are and can be. Themes that I will explore include: what makes good art; the dramatic versus the mundane (or, finding true drama within the mundane); mortality; sexual identity; and the limitations of age. I’m sharing this project at an early stage of its development because I hope you might be interested in supporting the work.
There’s only $964 left to go before November 25th!
This amount will cover fundamental costs including choreographer’s creation time, assistant video editor, the development of set-design and materials, and fabric for costume creation. If you can support this project with a donation, in any capacity, together we can make this idea a reality! Sharing the project with others and sending me your thoughts are also very valuable ways to show your support.
Make a donation or learn more here!
Gratefully, Karen Bernard

“Performance Mix is such a great resource, and I was really grateful to be supported in presenting two of my works this year! I think the real multiplicity of artists involved in all senses is a continued strength of the program.”
