Black Artists Space to Create Resident Artists 2024/25 Season
The BASC Residency offers three artists residencies at Arts On Site. Each artist receives a one-week residency and a stipend of $2,000. The artists have access to complimentary studio space at the New Dance Alliance’s loft in Tribeca throughout the season, and are invited to show work in NDA’s annual Performance Mix Festival. NDA offers this space for resting, dancing, creating, healing, grieving, laughing, and breathing. There is no expectation of production and artists are not obligated to present new work at the end of this residency.

The LiftOff Residency takes place at NDA’s Studio in Tribeca and provides six physical-based performance artists with a minimum of 36 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.
The residency offers a $500 stipend. You must be a New York City-based artist in order to apply.
Fall LiftOff artists have access to book the studio from October 7th, 2024 – December 23rd, 2024
Winter Liftoff artists have access to book the studio from January 6th, 2025 – March 31st, 2025
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.
“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.”
