Nika Disney

Nika Disney is a choreographer and dancer from Pula, Croatia, who graduated from the Academy of Theatre and Dance in Amsterdam as a performer, choreographer, and educator. Her recent works have been presented at the 42nd Dance Week Festival, the 18th Monoplay Festival, with Studio Contemporary Dance company, and at the Zagreb Dance Center, exploring questions such as "Are we ever truly alone?" and "How will technology shape our hearts?" Together with musician Carlos Andres Fagin, she organizes monthly performative improvisational jams (Jukebox), open for the public to watch and participate in. Nika is especially interested in developing programs that foster dialogue between art and community, spaces where art is lived, shared, and transformed into a collective experience. An example is the project Being A-Part, created with Liberta Mišan and Flynn Disney alongside students from the Pula Gymnasium. Her creative process is grounded in trust, vulnerability, recognition, and openness.
