About

Nic Sandiland is a UK based artist working between the areas of installation, performance and film. He originally trained as an electronics engineer before studying dance and performance in the late 80s.

Over the past 20 years he has made many pioneering events involving the integration of video with live performance. Since 2000 his work has increasingly employed digital technology often linking the movements depicted on screen to those of the viewer. He is particularly interested in the idea of active spectatorship and in engaging the everyday movements of the viewer in a choreographic context.

He has made work in London, Europe and South East Asia and has presented at theatres, art galleries, and many unusual venues. His film work has been shown worldwide and has been regularly broadcast on UK TV (Channel 4).
His work has been commissioned by such organisations as: the Royal Festival Hall, Candoco Dance Company, and Artsdepot and he is a regular collaborator with choreographers Yael Flexer and Rosemary Lee.

Nic has taught workshops on digital technology and dance around the World including: Bangalore, India and Seoul, South Korea. He also teaches video production on the MA in dance film at London Contemporary Dance School and is a lecturer in fine art and technology at Middlesex University.
