Nicole Wysokikamien is a Uruguayan dance artist and researcher based in Berlin. She graduated from the MA Solo/Dance/Authorship (SODA) at HZT Berlin, where she was supported by the DAAD. She holds a BA in Literature from Instituto de Profesores Artigas (Uruguay), a Diploma in Theory,
Criticism, and Analysis of Contemporary Performing Arts from the University of Chile, and is also a graduate of the Contemporary Dance Division of the Uruguayan National Dance School.
Her practice brings together movement research, dramaturgy, and humor, addressing how bodies carry history and how choreography can unsettle fixed narratives. Working across performance and interdisciplinary formats, she draws on personal archives and treats choreography as a form of translation between places, languages, and generations. Her work has been presented in Uruguay and Germany, including the Festival Internacional de Artes Escénicas del Uruguay (FIDAE), Ciclo Montevideo Danza, Festival de Verano del SODRE, Sophiensaele, Künstlerhaus Bethanien, and Kampnagel.
