Just 25 days to go
We are halfway to our goal! This year, we are entering a new endeavor to hold the Performance Mix Festival live outdoors. It is important to us to continue providing adequate payment and free space to artists participating in our programs. With your support and our established history, we know we will overcome these challenges, continue to strengthen our infrastructure and run necessary programming, and provide meaningful fees to the artists.
Support New Dance Alliance’s 35th Anniversary Performance Mix Festival!
Especially this year, we ask you to dig a little deeper. The pandemic has put NDA in an incredibly precarious financial position. We had to cancel the live Performance Mix last year and instead hosted a free virtual event, Performance Mix Festival 34: Remotely Yours. This year, we are entering a new endeavor to hold the festival live outdoors. It is important to us to continue providing adequate payment and free space to artists participating in our programs. With your support and our established history, we know we will overcome these challenges, continue to strengthen our infrastructure and run necessary programming, and provide meaningful fees to the artists.
“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.”
