![Take a sneak peek into Nick McGhee’s new work and creative process, Common Ground, premiering this Saturday, February 28.
Nick McGhee is a contemporary dance artist and choreographer whose work centers
collaboration, somatic intelligence, and shared authorship. Common Ground marks a premier
collaborative work, developed alongside five fellow artists through a collective process of
movement research, musical exploration, and conceptual exchange.
While serving as the project’s lead choreographer, McGhee approaches creation as a listening practice—prioritizing community, embodiment, and the spaces where individual voices meet.
This work reflects an ongoing inquiry into how movement can foster connection, presence, and collective understanding.
Come see Common Ground in color this Saturday, February 28!
