NIE works with an established ensemble, we have worked with some artists for nearly 20 years! For each project we like to work with a mixture of old friends and collaborators, along with artists who are new to the company – Our projects thrive on collaboration and ensemble work.

Our process

As such, we don’t hold conventional auditions or job interviews. Instead, we focus on building relationships, discovering how different performers can contribute to our storytelling process. A few times a year, the NIE offices in Norway, Czech Republic, and the UK, run Artist Development workshops – introducing NIE’s unique approach to tragic / comic / magical / musical / devised theatre.              

These are fun, informal sessions where you’ll get to meet our current team, share ideas, and work together. We will work with improvisation, play and the connection of live music with performance.  Artists who play will be invited to bring their instrument.

Who We’re Looking For

We love to work with Actors / Actor Musicians / Actor Puppeteers / Musicians who:

— Are from a variety of places / countries / traditions
— Speak different languages
— Play music
— Are interested in devising and being part of making our work
— Are intelligent and inspiring
— Are interested in making work for children and families
— Are great fun to work with and are playful

We are particularly interested in meeting more artists from diverse backgrounds.

“NIE have an unwavering sense of collectivism and fun in rehearsals. Everyone gets involved from day 1 right up until the end. This opened me up to a process that I’d love to create”
– David Gilbert – Assistant Director with NIE, 2017-18
