NDA is accepting applications for the 2026/27 LiftOff Residency cohort!
The LiftOff Residency takes place at NDA’s Studio in Tribeca and provides six physical-based performance artists with 30 hours of rehearsal space each, an introductory meeting, and two feedback sessions. This residency is for artists looking to join a small cohort of artists to share and give feedback on each other’s work.
You must be a New York City based artist in order to apply.
Past LiftOff residents are eligible to apply after two years of their program participation. The residency is only available for solo artists, or groups with up to 4 artists.
Just like that, we close our 40th year of Performance Mix Festival. Thank you for joining us!
We had the best time putting on our 40th annual Performance Mix at Abrons Arts Center this year, and hope you got to experience some of the outstanding performance art that was shared in the Underground Theater.
NDA deeply thanks you for coming out to support the 30+ performance artists that presented a wide range of works, pushing the boundaries of genre and discipline.

“My creative history with New Dance Alliance goes a way long. Since my friend, Chivas Sandage brought me to New Dance Alliance to rehearse in early 90’s, the place has become a part of my creative life. The long time existence of the studio and Performance Mix Festival are vital to the artists who seek and explore deep into their process. Whenever I step into the studio, it’s a new space with a lot of memories. I lie down on the floor, listen to my body, and I dance. It is valuable. The time in the space nurtures my practice and artistic vision. Karen’s vision of Lift-Off residency, feedback sessions, providing peer to peer connections are more significant than ever. It has been helping us to get through 2020 and we are going into 2021.”
