The mission of New Movement Project (NMP) is to enrich and enhance the dance experience of all actively motivated members of the Northwestern dance community. New Movement Project utilizes it resources as well as departmental, university, and community partnerships to provide students with elements of the dance experience not regularly provided by the curriculum. New Movement Project strives to facilitate the creative goals of dancers at Northwestern by: acting as a liaison between the Dance Program and students, offering performance and choreographic opportunities, and coordinating with the student dance community at NU.
NMP’s programming initiatives include producing the Fall Dance concert, hosting guest artists for residencies and workshops, and sponsoring individuals’ own projects as they make discoveries through movement. Through each element of programming students gain tools that will prove useful in the professional dance community that reach beyond that of the university community.
