Performa Gala Afterparty/Artists Party (2024)
I worked with Performa on the artistic and musical direction of their 20th Anniversary Gala Afterparty, held at WSA downtown. The celebration followed a landmark gala for the organization, known for its pioneering role in performance art.
My role focused on shaping the afterparty experience from concept to execution. Working closely with Performa’s team, I curated a sequence of performances that built energy throughout the night. Kevin Aviance, S’Aint Panic, and Alyssa Brianna each brought distinct sensibilities to the dancefloor, transforming the industrial space into a full-scale celebration.
I coordinated directly with venue staff and Performa’s production crew on sound, lighting, and performance timing to ensure seamless transitions and maintain momentum. The visual and sonic atmosphere was designed to reflect Performa’s experimental legacy while creating a space that felt present, alive, and deeply communal.
