The Norwegian Theatre Academy is organized with a joint leadership - artistic and administrative. Since August 2007 the artistic leadership is shared between Serge von Arx and Camilla Eeg-Tverbakk. We are excited to introduce this model of organization, which mirrors the transdisciplinary focus at our institution as well as the collaborative activity within contemporary performing and live arts in general.
A joint leadership, constituted by our two heads of departments (scenography and acting) gives the opportunity to implement the overall artistic visions more deeply into each department, as well as strengthening the development of collaborative projects between the students. Having the two heads of departments share the artistic leadership of the academy brings theory closer to practice.
