Show Description

To be cast adrift is not to be lost, but to be liberated. It is an allegory for the end of one journey and beginning of another.

Before we close the final chapter, we turn back the pages and reflect on the path that brought us here. Of every idea scribbled, workshopped, buried, and dug up again. Each student searched within to find their stories, their quirks, and elements of connection. Now, they approach the threshold and leave behind the relics of student life. With a clean slate, they'll write a new narrative, and from the student emerges a professional artist bound for new horizons.

Join our 2025 graduates as they perform their final acts.

This production is curated by Tegan Carmichael, devised by NICA’s graduating class with Artistic Consultancy by Alonso Pineda, Kyall Shanks, Velma Vouloir and Nicci Wilkes. Supported by Katie Cawthorne, Linda Satradipradja and Juliana Neves.
