Naja is HAUTs former leader. She is educated from the Norwegian Theatre Academy and the Oslo National Academy. As an artist, she has created interdisciplinary works showcased at KSelekt and Black Box Theater inOslo.

Betina Rex is the former leader of HAUT. She holds an MA in Dramaturgy from Aarhus University from 2014. In her work, she is particularly interested in how the performing arts can create spaces for reflection, critical inquiry, and shared experiences.

Sophie Grodin is a performance artist, director and performing arts disseminator, focusing on collaborative processes. She has an MFA from The Danish National School of Performing Arts and a bachelor from Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London.

In her writing and dramaturgy work, she's occupied with articulating the specificity of each process, pulling out methods and noticing rhythm, inner logics, decision making and personal dynamics.

Through her performance work she finds material that springs from already existing relationships or stories, and views the work as a slow excavation of details and dynamics. She’s especially occupied by investigating the roll distributions, subconscious systems and narratives that arise in the relational space.

Her latest work include directing a performance concert with Selma Judith at Klub Kreatur atTheater Sort/Hvid and being the editor-in-chief of the book, HAUT – Knowledge/Sharing/Practice, that investigates different types of knowledge arising from performing arts processes, a project that was part of her work with dissemination and knowledge sharing at HAUT.
