معرفی
Nicole Daunic is a Visiting Professor at Bennington College, where she has served as a recurring visiting faculty member since 2018. She holds a PhD in Performance Studies from New York University and specializes in dance, performance theory, and post-anthropocentric research frameworks.
Her research interrogates the intersection of movement, critical dance studies, performance theory, posthumanist feminism, and ecology, focusing on gaps in the sensorium, zones of indeterminacy, and alternative economies of attention. She founded Another Audience—a collective research platform exploring performance beyond human-centric paradigms—which challenges conventional notions of time, space, subjectivity, and relationality through more-than-human performance experimentation.
Daunic's creative work has received significant recognition including:
- Corrigan Fellowship
- Lower Manhattan Community Council Residency/Week
- The Chocolate Factory Theater creative residency for MAT(T)ER (collaboration with Hilary Clark)
As a performer, she has collaborated internationally with leading choreographers such as Luciana Achugar, Biba Bell, Walter Dundervill, Susan Sgorbati, Mårten Spångberg, and Gillian Walsh. Her academic contributions include serving as co-editor of Movement Research's Critical Correspondence and teaching courses like "The Body is a Time Machine Dance" that integrate practice-based and theoretical approaches to foster interdisciplinary discourse.
