MUSE

What moves you. Motivates you. Who is your MUSE.
Where do our artists find threads of inspiration? The moments that spark a surge of creativity that compels them to create new things.

ANSWER: In music. In nature. In emotion. In other artforms. In moments of quiet observation. In other artists' interpretation of life. In their mentors. In their muses.

Twelve artists lay their cards on the table - revealing and expressing the catalysts of innovation through the tools of their craft: aerial straps, static trapeze, Chinese pole, roue cyr, hand balancing, hula hoops, diabolo, hoop diving, aerial rope, and swinging trapeze.

Be moved by what moves them.

Our graduates thrive under the expert curation and creative consultation of the fabulous Tegan Carmichael, Alonso Pineda, Donna Dunmire, Emma Pursey, Martine Howard, and Katie Cawthorne. Their performances are masterfully lit by Kris Chainey, while the all-consuming scenes are crafted by the magnificent Cameron Grant. Cameron Grant’s touch on the show is evident everywhere—his campaign and production photography beautifully reflect the essence of the show, serving as a catalyst for innovation through the tools of his craft. Video documentation by Alex Sibbison of Masterworks Media Productions reveals our artists’ extraordinary intentions.

Join NICA's graduating class as they present the lovechild of their inspirations. Each unique, each extraordinary.
