Nina Guevara is a dancer, self-taught visual artist, and prop stylist assistant born and raised in San Francisco, California; currently living and working in Brooklyn, New York.

At Mason Gross, she had the privilege of working with Darrell Grand Moultrie, Pam Tanowitz, Chien Ying Wang, Shannon Gillen, Jessie Young, Ani Javian and others.

As a dancer, she craves the rush of athletic and expansive movement, while feeling at home in calm fluidity and tenderness. Since being a kid, she has loved dress up as a way to explore possibilities of the self and gender[expression]. She finds comfort in balance between playfulness and seriousness. Nina is interested in exploring the ways that movement and visual practices inform one another.
