This June, we presented numerous indoor and outdoor performances as part of our 36th Annual Performance Mix Festival held at Abrons Arts Center, as part of the @Abrons Series. The festival featured 12 shows between Thursday and Sunday, featuring work from more than 35 artists. We saw a variety of exciting and innovative works from New York-based and international artists. Thank you so much to everyone who helped make this weekend successful!
“All in all, a thoroughly entertaining night at a performance festival whose work feels necessary, not only for an audience but also for the development of the presenting artists.”

The festival continues to take chances by presenting NYC-based artists and national and international artists. We take chances on artists not familiar to NYC audiences and hope they will take a chance on us.
Karen Bernard, on the continuation of Performance Mix Festival over 36 years
“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.”
