Norteas is a Nordplus network of Nordic and Baltic Performing Arts institutions in higher education. Norteas encourages students and teachers to seek innovation and new approaches to the already established practices, through the exchange of knowledge, experience and visions on contemporary performing arts and education.

INTENSIVE COURSES

Norteas' intensive courses provide an exceptional platform for students and educators in the performing arts to engage in immersive, hands-on training. These biennial courses foster innovation and new approaches within established practices, encouraging participants to exchange knowledge, experience, and visions on contemporary performing arts and education.

This year's course will be hosted by the University of Tartu Viljandi Culture Academy in Viljandi, Estonia, from 25 to 29 August 2025. The IC focuses on Artistic Research (AR) as a valuable teaching and learning tool within BA-level education.

express mobility

The Norteas network receives Nordplus funding yearly to send students and staff on express mobilities between the network institutions or short-term internships in theatres or other performing arts production venues. If you are a student or a teacher and would like to know more about this option, don't hesitate to contact your institutional Norteas contact persons or the international office in your home institution.

Nordic Common studies

The Nordic Common Studies is a mobility activity where the network chooses a slot in the academic year, where schools swap their students and experiment with teaching and sharing of methods and experiences in an international context.

The next NCS will take place in 2026.
