40th Annual Performance Mix Festival

About

For 40 years, Performance Mix has been a vital platform for artists who challenge convention and a place where artistic risk-taking is not only welcomed but celebrated. Described by The New York Times as “the most elaborate festival of the unpredictable,” this four-day festival brings together more than 35 artists with deeply personal and expansive approaches to performance, inviting audiences to engage with some of the most compelling voices in experimental dance today. The 2026 festival is curated by New Dance Alliance Artistic and Executive Director Karen Bernard, Managing Director Alexandra Doyle, and artist panel Lindsey Barlag Thorton, Kyle Marshall, Nubian Néné, Lisa Parra, and Alexa West.
