| Festival Description | The dance-driven artist fueled nEW Festival produced by Melanie Stewart Dance Theatre and features a series of dance performances and community classes at the The University of the Arts (UArts) School of Dance. The festival program features a winter festival in January and a summer festival in June each year. Throughout the year, nEW serves as an incubator for new work and offers some of Philadelphia’s most innovative dance artists a unique opportunity to engage in original choreographic research and development in a collaborative environment. Since 2003, the nEW Festival has emerged as a distinct creative laboratory for dance-theater in Philadelphia. The nEW Festival encourages risk-taking and embraces the idea of cooperative and collaborative art-making, establishing a forum for creative exchange between artists and audiences. In residence at the University of the Arts School of Dance, nEW provides opportunities for choreographic research, professional development, peer mentorship and audience response in a variety of programs including master classes, studio showings and performances. |
