Isa (they/she) is a homegrown Floridian and grew up in a family which heavily supported diverse arts education. At a young age, they quickly took to the stage and fell in love with performing. Dance has been in their life since the age of three; however, their pre-professional training began at age eleven. In 2017, they were accepted into the University of North Carolina School of The Arts (UNCSA) contemporary dance BFA program. Their acceptance into the university was the start of their professional training, where they studied for four years and graduated in the Spring of 2021.

Since the start of their professional work at UNCSA, Newport has grown immensely through the school's diverse curriculum which includes Cunningham, Limon, Counter Technique, and Release Technique. They have also been provided with an abundance of performance opportunities that range from well-known classical works to innovative student choreographic works. Some of the most highly acclaimed pieces they have performed at the school include Chronicle by Martha Graham (staged by Maurizio Nardi), Pond Way by Merce Cunningham (staged by Jamie Scott), and MO by Trisha Brown (staged by Abby Yager). Newport has also received professional training for the American Dance Festival during the summer of 2019.

During their time there, they were able to work with an international choreographer through the festival's International Choreographic Research program, as well as perform excerpts from Connect Transfer & Neither by Shen Wei (staged by Kate Jewett & Sara Procopio). Though their dance training has been a primary focus, they have most recently directed their attention towards immersive theater and performance art. This newly developed passion came from UNCSA's Studio for Creative Practice, a program that was developed in the 2019-2020 school year. Newport and seventeen other students from different disciplines were chosen to help create and pilot this new program. The Studio for Creative Practice is in the process of becoming the school’s first interdisciplinary master's program. Newport spent the fall semester of 2019 and 2020 with the studio devising original work- and at the end of both terms, they presented a collaborative performance project with seven other students. The shows were collaborative, immersive theater pieces where each collaborator devised their own work based off of their own personal research. The works highlighted Newport’s dancing abilities as well as their dramaturgical skills. In the Spring of 2021, they were granted the opportunity to perform as a soloist in a devised theater piece with UNCSA's school of drama, and truly completed their time at the school with great success.

Newport’s ability to integrate their knowledge of dance with theater and live art has set them apart from people pursuing a traditional dance career. In the future, they plan on continuing to create original work as well as collaborate with other artists on various projects. They are also looking forward to a major life change with their move to the city of Atlanta. Things that are currently brewing for Newport include working for two professional companies; Monica Hogan Danceworks and Via Uni. They are also continuing to work professionally as an intimacy coordinator for film and empowering movers with the tools they need to develop healthy boundaries.
