• Name: Performa/Dance

Performa/Dance, founded in Austin, Texas in 2014 by choreographer Jennifer Hart and dancer Edward Carr, presents exploratory, original dance work by women, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ choreographers.

Through imaginative and ever-evolving processes, we reconsider contemporary ballet outside its bounds, in dialogue with artists across disciplines.

Bringing our lived experience to performance, we strive to connect with audiences using dance as a conduit for human understanding and expression.

For ten years, Performa/Dance has been programming works by local and national choreographers, with the goal of showcasing historically underrepresented artists, including Minneapolis-based LGBTQ+ activist Nic Lincoln, Christian Warner, a rising star based in NYC, as well as local favorites, including BLiPSWiTCH, Magdalena Jarkowiec, Alexa Capareda, and ARCOS. Additionally, Performa/Dance consistently pushes itself in new directions, reevaluating the vocabulary used to communicate modern storytelling.
