Mission Statement

Natasa Trifan Performance Group [NTPG] was founded in 1999 (NYC) by Natasa Trifan to create and explore innovative conceptual performances and to enhance the audience's experiences through social thought-provoking themes and inclusive productions. [NTPG] investigates new approaches to multimedia performance using dance, image theater, theatre d'object, and video technology. Our current explorations involve the intensive research and development of a new performance language that will mentally and emotionally involve the contemporary audience. Our choreographer, Natasa Trifan says: "My work aims to reflect the multiple layers of our contemporary society. It defines and re-defines the 21st-century human being, with its complex facets of sociological behavior, technological fascination, political activity or oppression, and above all, our tremendous power to continuously adapt to the world and at the same time to transcendent it." (Interview from "Romanian artists in NYC," a film documentary produced by Romanian National Television.)
