Nic Lincoln – Happy Hour Artist

My choreographic career includes stints across the country with a large portion of my career spent at James Sewell Ballet in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Throughout my career, I have received numerous honors for my challenging, nonlinear choreographies and performances.

I was previously named one of “25 to Watch” by Dance Magazine in 2013 and one of the “Artists We Love” by MN Monthly magazine and selected for numerous prestigious commissions from the McKnight Artist Fellowship for Dance, O’Shaughnessy Theater, and Momentum for the Southern Theater.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK:

Escalade is a non-linear abstract work choreographed by Nic Lincoln featuring Gemma Isaacson. It’s themes include women’s rights, Roe vs. Wade, bodily autonomy rights, and non gender conforming principles. Lincoln explores how chakras can present a pathway towards healing within his new piece. The music is by Dawn of Midi.

IF YOU WERE A TYPE OF CANDY, WHAT CANDY WOULD YOU BE AND WHY?

“Sour patch kids. They are my favorite and I will eat them until my tongue is raw.”

– Nic Lincoln
