Risk/Reward’s Festival of New Performance is coming back – 2025!

SUBMISSIONS TO THE 2025 FESTIVAL ARE CLOSED – FULL LINE-UP AND TICKET ANNOUNCEMENT AT THE END OF APRIL! (Artists will be notified mid-March.)

We continue to grow and support the creation of more art that pushes the boundaries of performance!

Our 2025 Festival of New Performance will feature 4 to 6 pieces as part of the Festival Mainstage, a formal showcase of work in PICA’s Annex Theater. In addition, we may feature site-specific pieces, interactive installations, and other interesting performance works in PICA’s open warehouse space.

FAQ:

– What’s all this, then?

The Festival of New Performance is our primary activity each year, and we put a lot of work and love into it. The Festival itself happens the third week of June (mark your calendar!), but planning for it goes year-round.

– How can I help?

Plan to buy a ticket, volunteer, or just whisper in the ear of a dear friend who’d love our weird and wonderful performances. And, most of all, stay tuned!

– I have a less-frequently-asked question I would like to ask!
