About:

Nicole Gervacio uses an interdisciplinary approach to create visual art. Her work is heavily inspired by genealogy, memory, destruction and deterioration, permanence verses impermanence, and is often driven by the fear of forgetting. Nicole has no formal training in dance, but after graduating from California College of the Arts she returned to this medium, applying her experience in visual arts to influence the way she creates choreography. Since 2011, Hipline Dance Studio has offered an open space that allows her to experiment, aiding in the development of her style and methods for leading others. Dance, arts, and activism have always been intertwined for Nicole, and founding We Rise in 2016 with her partner Catherine Petru fulfills their shared need to inspire, raise awareness, and promote change. This new endeavor has offered thought-provoking collaborations and inspiring experiences with people of their community, from which she continues to grow with great humility and gratitude.
