Nicola Conibere

Nicola Conibere is a Researcher affiliated with the Centre for Research in Arts and Creative Exchange at the University of Roehampton, within the School of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences. Her work spans choreography, performance art, and interdisciplinary research, with a focus on audience engagement, disability studies, and the ethical dimensions of artistic practice. She has supervised doctoral students including Sara Ruddock and Andrea Paz Torres Viedma.

Her research interests explore the intersection of artistic creation and social discourse, particularly through performative mediums. She investigates how choreography and performance can interrogate legal frameworks, bodily difference, and audience participation. Her 2021 performance Carareretetatakakekerers exemplifies her experimental approach to spatial and temporal dynamics in performance.

Conibere has received the Bonnie Bird New Choreography Award (2015) and maintains active engagement in academic and artistic communities. Recent activities include a 2024 invited lecture at the University of Malta and serving as an internal examiner for PhD defenses. She has contributed peer-reviewed chapters to volumes such as Performing Process (2018) and The Creative Critic (2018).

Her creative outputs often bridge theory and practice, with works published in both traditional scholarly formats and innovative non-textual forms. She is a member of committees and regularly participates in international festivals and academic conferences, reflecting her commitment to interdisciplinary dialogue.
