Stuck In Free Fall
Stuck In Free Fall is a show about Nothing.
In this genre-bending solo performance Nicola celebrates the contribution that Nothing- a feeling, state, need, or otherwise- has made to our individual psyches and the collective unconscious. As she guides the audience through a wild, experimental, and thought-provoking collective reading of her artist book, a ritual is born. Featuring dance, poetry, and love letters to the void, Stuck In Free Fall insists that Nothing- invisible, impossible, and accessed only through imagination- invites us to believe in belief and trust the unknown.

Stuck In Free Fall is also a book
A series of letters between two unknown beings, with one of them referred to as “nothing,” Stuck In Free Fall explores the sensation of existence in the void. Surprisingly intimate, nothing – with no fear and nothing to prove – releases certainty, dismisses meaning, and re-centers imagination and felt sense before dissolving, like smoke rights, back into the darkness.
