(He/They)
BFA Acting
Nico Pante is an artist from “Vancouver” and a founding member of Bleed Through Theatre. He loves creating and telling enrapturing stories. Nico is interested in the absurd and experimental; his work takes form as post-dramatic, clown, and devised performance. Anti-oppressive practices ground his work. Performance is exciting and essential as it has immense connective and transformative possibilities.
What was one of the highlights of your UBC experience?
Devising and creating with my cohort. The artists I have met – actors, designers, and technicians – have been fundamental to my learning, growth, and creative individuation. My cohort and I began our 2nd year by devising work on a near-daily basis; this propelled me further into establishing a devising practice and following the passion I have for playful and curious work.
What kind of creative work do you see yourself doing in the next few years?
In the coming years I will continue writing, devising, directing, and performing with my collective – Bleed Through Theatre. I will focus on uplifting trans and queer voices in my work. Theatre performance will remain central to my work; I will explore new facets of form and how theatre can be reinvigorated. I will also work elastically, creating performance for a wide variety of ages and genres.
Who is your favourite playwright?
Sarah Kane.
What are some of your special skills?
Red nose clowning, devising, playing violin, speaking French and Italian.
