About
“The international bar for breathtaking transformation is set by Australia’s amazing Nicola Gunn, a physical theatre artist of eerie originality and prodigious dexterity. No one does what Gunn does.”EDMONTON JOURNAL“Nicola Gunn’s ability is downright prodigious.”TORONTO EYE“I would watch Nicola Gunn shell peas.” THE AGE MAGAZINE
I am a performance artist and theatre-maker. Sometimes my work has words, sometimes not. Sometimes it’s funny and sometimes it’s sad. The shows I have made in the past do not necessarily suggest the work I am making now or will make in the future. I’m bit of a work-in-progress. I’ve performed my own work in Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand and Germany.
