Artist Statement

Nina Nina is a transatlantic actor/director/producer. She gained a BFA in Acting from Drama Centre London and an MFA in Directing from The New School of Drama. The art she creates explores the dissonance between society's idealization of the ‘powerful woman’ and the limitations that owning this title chains us to. The conflicting emotions of AWE and FEAR she experiences when trying to embrace her own sense of womanhood. ‘How to Shit in Public’, is an audio/visual experience that takes place inside an outhouse. A glowing, UFO like mothership toilet in the middle of a dark forest. You enter, lock the door and put on headphones. The sound and lightscape will weave interviews, live recordings, written text, found text, opera and other source materials to take the audience on a journey to discover what their experience as a fetus may have been like. Along the way, they will learn about the dark history of birth in this country and the bright future we can collectively help to build.
