Clarity is a movement essay about the physical experience of performing. “Delicate, subtle, vulnerable, and simple,” writes Juan Jesús Guiraldi. “The continuum, a life which is born, death immediately after, and rebirth. The clear feeling of eternity which remains just a feeling.” Guiraldi is a 2022–23 LiftOff Resident Artist.

“Performance Mix Festival has its own life, and Karen and the staff continue to evolve with the times in a way I appreciate…it was tremendous to be a Liftoff AIR and then get to show the work I had continued to explore as an AIR a year later at PMF!”
