Performance Is Alive

Based in Brooklyn, NYC, Performance Is Alive is an online and curatorial platform featuring the work and words of current performance art practitioners. Through interviews, reviews, artists features, media sponsorship and curatorial projects, we aim to support the performance community while offering an access point to the performance curious.

A BRIEF HISTORY​
We launched in late 2014 with a strong emphasis on artist interviews and profiles. In 2015, we sponsored The Sphinx Returns, a 3-month performance series, curated by Whitney V. Hunter at Grace Exhibition Space (Brooklyn) and welcomed Miami Art Week correspondent, Alexandra Hammond, as a part of our team. In 2016, we expanded our efforts to curatorial projects, presenting performance art programming at a Foundation Fighting Blindness Benefit and 4 days of non-stop performance programming at Satellite Art Show during Miami Art Week 2016. We have since welcomed correspondents, Polina Riabova, Luke Mannarino and Alex Sullivan. In 2019 we extended our curatorial efforts to include programming in Austin, Miami and NYC with Satellite Art Show. Through all of this, we continue supporting and promoting the work of current performance art practitioners. Performance is Alive!
