Founded by Michael Mizrahi and Marie Adams Inside Out Theatre was established in London in 1981 after the completion of three years extensive training in physical theatre and improvisation techniques. The company quickly established itself as a leading force in British Contemporary visual theatre.

Over the next four years the company performed throughout Great Britain to wide-ranging critical acclaim and also created corporate events including The 3 Degrees for The Young Millionaires Club at the Hippodrome, London. In 1987 the company moved its base to Auckland, New Zealand where it continued creating unforgettable, unique and spectacular events, earning both local and international recognition. Over the next eight years Inside Out Theatre toured New Zealand and Australia. After winning the 1988 Adelaide Festival’s “Critic Award for Excellence”, the company was invited to perform as part of The Sydney International Festival in 1990. 1990 also saw Inside Out Theatre produce the ground-breaking warehouse productions, The Holy Sinner and The Three-Penny Opera, which won every major theatre award that year.

In 1994, Mike Mizrahi and Marie Adams were established in New Zealand to bring Inside Out Theatre’s unique form of visual production expertise to the corporate events scene.
