Marije Nie is a musician with her feet, a dancing percussion player. She dances with classical music, jazz, film and dance theater, creates interdisciplinary theater pieces, creative interventions and workshops. Marije is fascinated by the power and the poetry of steps, and their ability to navigate many different worlds. Using the universal language
of rhythm, she steps onto concert stages, film screens, boardrooms, and barricades, bringing vigorous energy and joyous virtuosity. She received the Jur Naessens prize for innovation in music and continues to find new paths in music and tap dance. Sharing the knowledge and working methods of artists outside of the stage is a passionate mission for her. Projects in this field range from interactive concerts to lectures, workshops and sessions in which professionals from in- and outside of the arts work together on a shared theme. www.marijenie.com
