Jim Niesel began his theatre consulting career at Theatre Projects back in 2001
USA - Theatre Projects has welcomed Jim Niesel back as their newest project manager and theatre equipment/audio-video designer. Jim began his theatre consulting career at Theatre Projects back in 2001 before joining Arup in 2007, where he went on to take a leading role in the company's New York and Australasia theatre consulting practices.

While at Arup, Jim worked on a number of performance spaces including the Sydney Opera House and the Metropolitan Opera House. Now, back where he began, Jim is looking forward to the collaborative environment at Theatre Projects and having a part in the extraordinary performance spaces that they design.

"I came back for the opportunity to work in a smaller, more focused firm," Jim said. "When you're working in a firm with 300 people, you're not all going to be moving in the same direction. Each person has a different approach, and a slightly different goal, which can be frustrating."

Another reason for returning was his admiration for Richard Pilbrow, founder of Theatre Projects, and his philosophical approach to theatre design. "Richard had it right. What makes good theatre is the interaction between people and the intimacy that you can only experience when you're so close to performers," Jim said. "I like fostering that kind of environment."
