Sixth Exit Series
THE SIXTH EXIT SERIES is an evolving multidisciplinary performance series that brings together dance, film, and original music to explore the changing relationship between humanity and the world it inhabits. Through live performance and screen-based work, the series examines environmental change, technological dependence, and the quiet ways these forces shape our emotions, relationships, and everyday lives.
Developed across four chapters—Vermillion Clouds, Sun Over Ice, Ugly Hot, and Clouds As Thoughts—the series moves between the personal and the collective, using movement as a way to investigate contemporary issues that are often difficult to express through words alone.
In March 2020, as the world entered lockdown, Nicole invited five dance artists to document the ordinary moments of their daily lives. What began as a simple creative exercise gradually became an intimate portrait of isolation, uncertainty, and resilience. Those recordings evolved into Inner Landscape, a short film presented as a video collage that captures the emotional landscape of the pandemic's first three months.
