Nick Nikolaou
Independent Artist
Nick graduated in 2020 with First Class Honours from the Masters of Arts in Contemporary Dance Performance in the University of Limerick where he got to work with choreographers such as Liz Roche, Jack Webb, Paul White and Ursula Robb.
Before his postgraduate studies, he danced with the Dublin Youth Dance Company and other companies in Ireland and Greece for Contemporary dance, Jazz, Swing and Cabaret shows. He has performed in many countries such as the UK, Sweden and Italy for various choreographers. Other past experiences include being a dancer, actor and choreographer for various short and full length films and music videos, aerial performances and drag and queer performances. He is strongly influenced by queerness and as a gender-queer person, he is significantly affected by gender and queer issues and their representation in the arts. Nick’s latest project, The Lighting Design Project, is a collaboration between Liz Roche Company, The Lir Academy, Dance Ireland and the Irish World Academy, University of Limerick. The aim of this project is to offer a supportive and resourced environment to learn about and experiment with lighting design for dance productions.
