A new professional dance company, Niko8, is taking the stage in the Windy City to present its inaugural work, Swarm.

Founded by choreographer and artistic director Sean Roschman, Niko8 is a performance collective and artistic incubator that supports the creative process of presenting original work that tackles pressing and universal topics of the human condition . We seek to infuse rigorous movement with a heightened theatrical sensibility and bold visual design to enrich and reinvigorate the power and accessibility of live performance. We are guided by our core values of : artist to artist resource sharing, amplifying the dignity of all artists and craftspeople, active audience engagement and artistic risk taking.
