New Dance Alliance in association with Joyce SoHo presents the 26th Annual Performance Mix Festival six days, thirteen events and twenty eclectic experimental dance and performance artists.
“The Performance Mix Festival offered me the crucial opportunity to develop new material in front of a live audience. The art of live performance is truly experimental, because it is a time-based art which requires a live audience for its very existence. Therefore it can only be developed in a comprehensive way through experiences such as the Performance Mix Festival. The Festival’s marketing efforts helped bring in an audience that was largely new to my work, which was an added benefit of the experience for me as an artist dedicated to continually broadening my horizons.”

Firkin Crane was developed in residencies at the Firkin Crane Blank Canvas Residency and Silo; and through Fieldwork.
My Studio at Firkin Crane
I am on my last leg of a three week Blank Canvas residency. When I first arrived it felt lonely – now I am savoring the moments. The staff at Firkin Crane are so gracious and helpful. I soon felt at home. The studio I chose is small and quirky, but what it makes up for in size is the quality of the room. It has asymmetrical white walls, Marley floor and three gorgeous arched windows. The windows inspired new material. I took time to video the windows and the changing light throughout the day and along with sound score by Boris Billier, a site specific sound artist from Paris, a new beginning is in the works. I had an interesting challenge setting up the room, creating a white corner, blacking out the windows, and figuring out where to place my projections and body for my own going work, “Ouette.” I continually find nuances in the movement and video images – will I ever be able to call it finished?

“Performance Mix is such a great resource, and I was really grateful to be supported in presenting two of my works this year! I think the real multiplicity of artists involved in all senses is a continued strength of the program.”
