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.


Our last major production, THE MAD SCENE was a darkly absurdist dance-drama that dove into the human longing for fame. Skipping through time periods and rollicking in anachronisms, THE MAD SCENE began in the 17th century court, made a pit stop mid-20th century, came to a screeching halt at our current internet-fueled celebrity culture, and in the process, skewered the veneer of performance, propaganda, and artificiality.

Thank you to all who came out to make THE MAD SCENE a success!
