Nic Green Deviser and Performer

Nic Green is a performance practitioner based in Glasgow.  Her work spans solo performance and group shows, as well as community-based projects with people of all ages, in a variety of contexts. Her work is concerned with the understanding of herself and humankind in relation to specific things, places, animals, ecosystems and politics and how this becomes relevant to broader, more universal ideas about what it means to be a human in today’s world.  Nic strives for her work to be accessible in form and applicable in content, resulting in broad social inclusion and involvement.  

Nic has shown solo projects at the CCA (Glasgow), Method Lab festival (Manchester), NRLA (Glasgow), BAC (London), The Arches (Glasgow) and Exeter Phoenix as well as working on performances with Junction 25, Grace Surman and Lisa Louise.  She has also led both small and large scale devised projects with groups of young people in and around Glasgow and West London.
