Performance Mix Festival 2025 Call for Applications

Calling all Performance Artists: Applications for the Performance Mix Festival 2025 are now open!

New Dance Alliance is pleased to announce an open call for applications for our 39th annual Performance Mix Festival. For 39 years, New Dance Alliance’s Performance Mix Festival has offered diverse emerging and mid-career artists an opportunity to share experimental work with audiences in Manhattan. The first Performance Mix Festival (1986) was groundbreaking in that it was the only festival at that time exclusively dedicated to performance art in lower Manhattan. Its continued success is testimony to its vital necessity in New York’s cultural community. Apply to join our cohort of artists preserving Lower Manhattan’s rich cultural history!

Submission deadline is Friday, November 29th, 2024 at 11:59pm.

The Festival’s performances will take place in the Underground Theater at Abrons Arts Center on Thursday June 5th - Sunday June 8th, 2025.
