Robert Tyree writes of Karen Bernard’s solo, Ouette, “… an exquisitely crafted solo piece, visually gorgeous and thoroughly intriguing, emotionally captivating, a shot in the arm of audience imagination”.

2011 Performance Mix Festival: Thank you!

Thank you to Dixon Place, our season artists, audience members, Board of Directors, our partners Dance New Amsterdam, Studio 303 and the Community Education Center, volunteers, in-kind donors, funders and NDA’s team who made the 25th Anniversary Performance Mix Festival a stunner!

The highlight of the festival was 25×3. Twenty five past Performance Mix artists created three minute works to unique scores by Alexis O’Hara. Without pauses the work flowed with the most beautiful transitions. Check out all the great things that the 25x 3 artists had to say (below), and watch these interviews with reflections after the festival of Owen Chapman, 50collectiVe, and Jana Jevtovic!

“It was a pleasure and an honor to be part of Performance Mix Festivals #31 (Infinite Corridor) and #36 (Meeting the Moai: Head Over Heels.) In both instances, the artists were made to feel welcomed and truly celebrated for their work, as reflected by attention to publicity, technical needs, and convivial gatherings. This festival truly practices diversity, equity, and inclusion, as manifested in their roster of performing artists each year. Big thanks to New Dance Alliance, Karen Bernard, and the entire Performance Mix Festival team who make it such a fulfilling and joyful experience for artists and audiences alike.”
