New Expressive Works (N.E.W.) engages audiences with the creative power of multi-cultural, multi-genre, and multi-disciplinary professional independent performing artists, by providing critical studio space for artistic research, education, and public performances. Since inception in 2012, N.E.W. has been grounded in equity and access driving artistic expression and excellence. Every year, N.E.W. celebrates and supports multi-cultural independent performing artists who teach, incubate, and create bold new works. N.E.W.'s positive and uplifting programming provides equal access to and visibility for diverse art-forms. N.E.W. is also the home to an intensive urban residency program that annually offers choreographers free rehearsal space, a modest stipend, and a culminating performance opportunity to showcase their new creations. Performing artists gather, create, and benefit from one another's expertise in N.E.W.'s realistically and affordably priced studios.
