New Paradise Laboratories is a theatre company whose work defies easy categorization. We create works of movement theatre. We create the media surrounding that work. We embed theatre in the Internet. We explore the places where live theatre and the Internet intersect. We are constantly wondering: What is theatre? Where does it exist? Who makes it? What are the conventions of theatre and how can we break them? New Paradise Laboratories (NPL) was founded to create surprising, meticulous, spiritually challenging, and wholly distinctive experimental theatre productions that investigate physical expression, on-stage and in life. These productions are assembled using collaborative creative processes developed by the company. The work tends to value wild humor, shock, a concern for history, a muscular visual sensibility, and a fascination with the utopian impulse. Furthermore, NPL uses the fruits of its experimentation to benefit the artistic and audience community as a whole. We devise all of our own work. We believe in ensemble creative processes. We work to advance the cause of artistic entrepreneurship.
