The 38th annual Performance Mix Festival brings together 35 experimental dance and film artists with deeply personal and expansive approaches to art-making. Among the many extraordinary works to be presented this season are Mystic-Informatic, a collaboration between Montreal-based artists Audrée Juteau, Zoey Gauld, Catherine Lavoie-Marcus and Ellen Furey, produced by L’Annexe-A, and new and recent works from Mickey Davidson, Jordan Deal and Aya Shabu as part of New Dance Alliance’s Black Artists Space to Create residency and Tal Halevi and Yolette Yellow-Duke as part of its LiftOff residency. New Dance Alliance (NDA) will also host its annual Breakfast Mix, a convivial gathering and discussion with the international artists featuring a presentation by Agora de la danse/Koros.
The 2024 festival is curated by New Dance Alliance Founder and Executive Director Karen Bernard and artist panel Rafael Cañals, Maxi Hawkeye Canion, Jil Guyon, Rebecca Patek and Stacy Lynn Smith. In addition, films were selected in collaboration with Ciné-Corps, a film festival focused on dance and the body.
