New Paradigm Dance Theater (NPDT) cultivates the creative artists and thinkers of the future by fostering an environment where dancers and choreographers are encouraged to be vulnerable, challenge assumptions, and forge their own pathways to artistry.
In the 2024–2025 season, NPDT launched three companies: Youth Company, Adult Company, and EMPOWER Company for teens and adults with special needs. Each company offers its own distinct programming while also engaging in collaborative opportunities across groups. These intercompany experiences deepen artistic growth, strengthen community connection, and nurture a shared love of dance.
Co-Artistic Directors Julia Wilkinson Manley and Chris Harris bring extensive experience directing both professional productions and student performance companies. NPDT balances high artistic standards with a safe, nonjudgmental, dancer-centered approach. By prioritizing artistic expression, vulnerability, and creativity, we strive to create work that is beautiful, intellectually engaging, and accessible—inviting audiences to join us in exploration and discovery.
