The students from The Norwegian Theatre Academy made the concepts and the expressions of the productions and were performing onstage. The project varied from traditional staging of text via burlesque theatre to performance and interactive projects. One tutor was attached to each project: Kai Johnsen, Morten Cranner, Lars Øyno, Kristin Norderval/Mary Overlie and Camilla Eeg.

The graduating students of 2007 making their bachelors of arts within acting (ACT 6) at The Norwegian Theatre Academy counted nine students with backgrounds from Norway, Iceland, Germany, Belgium and Portugal.
