Performance Mix Festival: 38 was truly a “mix” of dance, performance and films featuring artists from around the world. Jovial happenings at the Breakfast Mix, the reception and the ball finale brought audiences and artists together.
Ticket prices for Performance Mix are intentionally low so the series can attract a wide range of audience members. Please consider making a donation towards New Dance Alliance so that we may continue to keep ticket sales accessible to the public. Your donation makes a difference and means so much to all of us at NDA.

Carole Arcega | Hymen: In this Ciné-Corps film about looking for an organic cinema, an intimate relationship is created, a body moves and mutes to become the film’s skin.
Chloë Engel | Rubber is a solo experimental performance practice that explores rubber as medium. Chloë Engel draws from their experience as a play therapist, the child of a psychiatric survivor, and a rubber enthusiast to build a practice with rubber that engages questions of pleasure, pathology, queerness, and madness.
Johanna Meyer | Suit, Hanging: Johanna Meyer will present a new solo featuring performance/dance material that dives into the female body, fat, and movement. The piece explores desire and unattainable perfection.
“Thank you thank you and thank you to everyone who made this residency (Black Artist Space to Create) possible. These past two weeks have been a blessing! Not only have I been able to deepen my own personal/artistic practices, I was given the space to connect with people that I love! I was given space to reflect on love, and to prepare for what this next year (2021) will bring! Shout out to New Dance Alliance, Modern Accord Depot and Angie Pittman for the time, the space, and opportunity! I am forever grateful! It felt like a good meal, with dessert!”
