WELCOME TO NSP!
N.S.P.'s mission is to develop and exhibit the talents of inner-city youth by using six components: Acting, Art and Design, Music, Fashion-Modeling, Dance, and Youth Leadership. Our organization supports the concept of learning through the arts, therefore, emphasizing the importance of an education in an advanced learning environment.
Our primary goal is to promote young artists in a positive manner. Through our programming (known as PROJECT P.A.C.T.: "Positive Activities for Children and Teens), we provide free membership for youth of all ages. Through their selected talent, all members are given the opportunity to create, perform, and exhibit his/her talents through various forms of exhibition. Our activities and events will include fashion and talent shows, competitions, youth conferences, field trips, community services, recordings, film, video, television, stage, and workshops. Our members are encouraged to plan programs, youth conferences, and propose ideas they feel are beneficial towards their community. Through these activities, each member will learn the values of life, respect towards self, and his/her community, dignity, self-confidence, and unity.
Modeling
HIT THE RUNWAY!!!
Under NSP management, our goal is to develop a team of fashion models for future fashion shows, provide portfolio development, and marketing strategies through a 20-week series of training sessions will prepare, develop, and evaluate individuals based on the following:
a.Walking and Posing
b.Photography and Marketing (Portfolio Development)
c.teamwork
d.presentation
e.etiquette
f.professionalism
Acting
LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!!!
NSP's goal is to organize a theater ensemble (cast) and stage crew for stage presentations, and to acquire employment for additional roles in acting for feature films and/or stage presentations (local and abroad).
Through our Saturday program, our actors work through monologue and speech training; preparing for auditions and feature roles.
Through this team, they develop self-confidence, and maturity through character development. Actors will engage in portfolio/ photo sessions, through NSP’s commitment to produce resumes, and headshots for casting companies and studios.
Past work includes various Spike Lee film productions, original screenplays where our members have worked as extras, and self-promotions through NSP's annual showcases.
Dance
LET'S MOVE!!!
NSP's goal is to organize a united team of dancers for stage presentations, tour performing, and to create alternative avenues to incorporate dance and the arts in other divisions of Non-Stop Production.
Our focus includes implementing weekly dance classes for individuals and groups to prepare them for future showcasing.
This includes:
•Music Videos
•Exclusive Dance Recital
•Talent Search (competitive) events
•Development of performance groups:
- Step Team
- Gospel Praise Team
- Hip-Hop Street Team
Music
HOW DOES THAT SOUND.....
Through the years, NSP has established a team of professional recording artists, musicians, producers, composers, and songwriters. Teaming with other community-based organizations, NSP works to develop original music, and material with the intent of public release. Promoters, and outside organizations will engage in the hiring of our performing artists for showcasing, and future recordings.
Our artists are featured abroad in annual events including:

YOUTH MAGAZINE
Project P.A.C.T., is a series of activities, programs and annual events that will concentrate on the needs, and growth of NSP and surrounding community. Activities will include conducting our Saturday program, rehearsal schedule, community service projects, membership and leadership development, and seasonal highlighting of talent.
This P.A.C.T. is set up to emphasize four areas, which will enable NSP to encourage our youth to achieve their goals. (The “PACT” serves as the foundation of Non-Stop Production, and as the primary focus of our mission statement.)
1. P = PERFORMANCE: Presentation, activities, and events.
The strength of NSP relies on how well our youth performs in events and showcases. Their presentation depends on a strong positive attitude, dedication, and commitment towards their goal. These three attributes represents the “spirit” of NSP.
2. A = ARTS: Creativity and innovation.
Our youth will be encouraged to be creative. Their ideas are the backbone to their success. Their creativity should not be limited, withheld, and acknowledging their full potential is a priority.
3. C = COMMUNITY: Environment, education, and outreach.
By focusing on the needs of the inner-city youth and community, our goal is to concentrate on empowerment through a) education, b) economics, and c) social and recreational activity.
4. T = TALENT: Skills, and special attributes.
We will allow our youth to focus their on their special skills, and talents; to enable them to perform at their very best, and execute at its highest quality. Through their talents, we will allow them to engage in activities beneficial to their development and mental growth.
