Nick Brooke

Residency guest 24/25

Nick Brooke combines sound with theater, dance, and installation, creating unique devices and performances. In his theater works, vocalists and actors are trained to mimic sampled collages of sound effects, pop songs, and musical ephemera, blurring the line between recording and live performance. Brooke’s works have been featured across the U.S. and Europe — including at MASS MoCA, the Baryshnikov Arts Center, and the Spoleto Festival — and performed by ensembles such as the Bang-on-a-Can All-Stars and Talujon. He has received Guggenheim and Rockefeller awards and multiple residencies including in Bogliasco and Bellagio. He has a Ph.D. from Princeton University and is a professor at Bennington College.
