About the Work
new york, please is an exhaustive, blackly humorous plea for comfort, success, and relief from a city that feels like a bad habit that refuses to be quit.
gaudanse was selected from an open call of artists to present work as part of this landmark 40th anniversary festival, which gathers some of the most compelling contemporary voices in experimental dance.

About Performance Mix Festival
For 40 years, New Dance Alliance's Performance Mix Festival has provided a platform for diverse emerging and mid-career artists to share their work with Manhattan audiences. The original festival in 1986 was groundbreaking as the only event exclusively dedicated to performance art in Lower Manhattan. Each year, it presents a packed program of local, national, and international artists with the direct goal of supporting the development of experimental works in front of live audiences — a testament to its enduring necessity in New York's cultural community.
