Nicole Wysokikamien

Nicole Wysokikamien (Montevideo, 1994) is a Uruguayan dance artist and researcher based in Berlin. She is a graduate of the Contemporary Dance Division at Uruguay’s National Dance School. She holds a BA in Literature (Uruguay), a Diploma in Theory, Criticism, and Analysis of Contemporary Performing Arts (Chile), and is a graduate of the MA SODA (Solo/Dance/Authorship) from the Hochschulübergreifende Zentrum Tanz Berlin (Universität der Künste, Berlin). From 2022 to 2024, she was a DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) fellow. Her work explores the intersection of choreography, text, and performance, with a focus on intimacy, literalness, personal archives, and the exploration of humor within these contexts. She enjoys playing with how artistic practices are named, written about, and discussed, while also engaging with the complex relationships between choreographic traditions in Latin America and Europe. Nicole has collaborated with Latin American cultural magazines, such as Latidobeat and Revista Hiedra.
