NIKKI BEARDEN

 “I believe in the power of words as vessels for connecting individuals to larger ideas, and to one another. Words have the puissance to invoke, destroy, overcome. My preferred method of performance involves creative collaboration between artists and bystanders, creating a space for spiritual transformation, both for the "observer" (now a participant in the performance) and myself. Using words, movement, costume/physical transformation as conduits, culminating in a revolutionary unveiling of the worlds within. Deconstructing the walls everyone builds around their endogenous selves to release the potency of the gift of Self.”
