what is going on at NDA?
“Starting today, Tuesday April 13, some of the most innovative dance from around the world will make its way to New York City, as New Dance Alliance hosts the Performance Mix Festival at the Joyce Soho…“I love it when audience walk away saying – ‘is this dance?’” says Bernard. Indeed, as dance moves into the future, the lines between dance, video, theater, visual art, music, and beyond are being blurred. This prospect is exciting and promising for artists, as it creates endless possibilities.” READ MORE
Read More“A model of survival in good times and bad, the Performance Mix Festival returns in its 24th incarnation to New York this April, despite a recession that’s meant cutbacks this year of about $7000. “For a festival our size, that’s a lot of moneys,” says producer/curator and New Dance Alliance Director Karen Bernard.

“Ginette Laurin created the turbulent La Chambre Blanche for her contemporary dance company O Vertigo almost 18 years ago; her choreographic intention at the time was affected deeply by the murders of 14 young women at École Polytechnique in 1989. La Chambre Blanche is now a film, directed by Laurin.”

“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.”
