Nick Nikolaou is an Irish-based contemporary dance and queer artist. They graduated with First Class Honours from the MA in Contemporary Dance Performance in the University of Limerick.
Their research, since 2020, is around club and queer spaces and their importance on a person’s existence and comfort. For this research Nick worked with mentors Liz Roche, Philip Connaughton, Emma Martin and Tonie Walsh. This led to a very successful solo show called “Anatomy of a Night” that premiered in the Dublin Fringe Festival 2022 with great reviews from critics and the community. “Anatomy of a Night” is coming back in 2025 as part of Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Nick has been performing and hosting clubs and events around Ireland.
Nick also co-runs Dublin Modular, an artist-run organisation primarily hosting all types of live electronic music and visual arts meetups, workshops, talks and performances. Their biggest achievement has been the “Hi-Five series” where we curated 5 different and successful events in different venues around Dublin (The Complex, Smock Alley, Pepper Canister, RHA and Project) where they worked as a producer and resident performer of Dublin Modular since 2022 and together they have curated over multidisciplinary events in over 10 different venues around Ireland. Also, Nick is a member of Cabaret crews around Ireland and they support the growth and further development of shows. Nick’s research of queer and club spaces will soon be published.
