(1986 - )
Born in Newcastle, Nicola Singh studied Experimental Music and Visual Art (2005-2008) at Dartington College of Arts. She then completed an MA in Curating Performance at Sunderland University (2011) and a subsequent practice-led PhD thesis-by-performance at Northumbria University (2017).
Her multidisciplinary practice is rooted in performance and moves across disciplines, as she responds to contexts of feelings and chance, encounters and dialogue, and to location and place. She prioritises performative, discursive and physical approaches to her practice, research and pedagogy.
Singh was selected for the Jerwood Charitable Foundation 3-Phase programme in 2017 leading to performances and exhibitions at Bankside, London; WORKPLACE, Gateshead (2018); and Eastside Projects, Birmingham (2018); and was artist in residence at Hongti Art Centre, Busan, South Korea (2018); followed by a solo exhibition at BALTIC 39, Newcastle (2018).
