NIE & The Darkroom

The Darkroom residency was a revelation for us. It pushed NIE in directions we hadn’t thought of before with the intensity of the experience and the isolation enabled us to really focus our work. The residency has prompted the development of a new project for us -  Tales From a Sea Journey. This  will start with two weeks of research and development in autumn 2009 where eight performers from the NIE ensemble will spend two weeks traveling together on a banana boat sailing from Antwerp to Columbia.

NIE worked with screen writer Clive Bradley during their Darkroom week.
