MISSION
Gardenhouse Dance, founded and directed by Nicole Livieratos, is
passionately committed to the belief that art at its best challenges,
stimulates, and allows for a deeper understanding of ourselves.
The mission of Gardenhouse is to create excellent modern dance that
is both unique and accessible by using the familiar in unfamiliar
ways. Gardenhouse projects range from straightforward movement pieces,
to film, to installations, to community outreach work.

FOUNDER
Nicole Livieratos received her B.F.A. in Dance from the University
of Arizona where she studied with John Wilson, Isa Berghson, Ellen
Bromberg, LeeAnn Hartley, Della Davidson, and Ann Carlson. As a
performer she has worked with San Francisco choreographers Joanna
Haigood and Gail Chodera and in New York with Ann Carlson, Mitchell
Rose, and the Pearson Dance Company. Nicole's choreography has been
commissioned by the High Museum of Art, Arts Festival of Atlanta,
Atlanta Opera, First Light for NBC Television, and Georgia Tech's
Interactive Media Technology Center. Her performance piece "light"
was chosen best dance piece of the year by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution
in 1996. In 2000, "Mowing" received national attention
as part dance, part performance art, part landscape design project,
transforming the urban environment and Nicole was chosen Creative
Loafing's Critics Choice Best Choreographer.
