The Performa Commissions program originates new performances by inviting artists, "many of whom have not worked ‘live’ before" to create work especially for the Performa biennial. Selected by Performa Director RoseLee Goldberg, commissioned artists work closely with the Performa production team from conceptualization to presentation, including international tours following the biennial. Several Performa Commissions have been made possible through dynamic partnerships with international organizations such as Sadler’s Wells, Documenta, and S.M.A.K.
