Artistic Policy

To create new, visually driven performances that speak directly and dynamically to an audience.
To bring together theatre artists from different countries who want to explore the possibilities and conflicts of working in a blend of languages, styles and cultural understandings.

Artistic Practice

We work on European stories because they represent our backgrounds and the histories that shape us.
We work with artists from different countries because we believe that theatre can be an international language.

NIE makes devised work adapted form contemporary stories and the company's rehearsal process includes a period of research and development where ideas are explored by the key artistic team. This initial development often takes the form of a residential workshop where artists involved live and work together in an isolated setting.
