International companies include Sigrid Keunen from Belgium and Bernardo Coloma from Germany. We welcome back Quebec company Deborah Dunn | Trial & Eros from Montreal known for its sophisticated visuals, social commentary, historical inquiry and humor.

The Performance Mix Festival continues to be a vital forum for presenting new work to audiences interested in the creative process and helps provide services for advancing artists’ careers through touring opportunities, free rehearsal space, and creative and career development residencies.

The Performance Mix Festival will be presented in association with Joyce SoHo, 155 Mercer Street between Houston and Prince Streets from Tuesday, February 24 through Saturday, March 7 (no performance at Joyce SoHo on Sunday, March 1 and Monday, March 2).

There will also be a number of free events in Lower Manhattan and Chelsea including the Breakfast Mix at Dance Theater Workshop and Mobile Clubbing at Foley Square. In addition, we are very excited to present Quebec artist, Tedi Tafel’s Life-World, a storefront performance installation at Nili Lotan’s Design Studio in Tribeca made possible through a production grant from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.

Today NDA remains dedicated to its founding principals and has expanded its programming to include services that enable artists’ career advancement.
