Lisa Nicks – Lisa Nicks and her Band of Wild Ponies

Lisa Nicks run run leaped with her degree from Sam Houston State University to Houston, and danced in James Clouser’s Space/Dance/Theater, and Farrell Dyde Dance Theatre. She performed regularly at Houston Grand Opera, Theater Under the Stars, and Children’s Theater Festival productions. A crash in the economy sent her packing to NYC, where she met and married the Doug Elkins’ Dance Company: dancing, rehearsal directing, teaching, and administrating. Since relocating to Austin in 2001, she’s danced and choreographed independently, spent six seasons with Kathy Dunn Hamrick Dance, and three seasons with Kate Warren Circuitous Dance. Her troupe: Lisa Nicks and her Band of Wild Ponies, is a collective of free-lance and prance dancers who commit by project, making movement dreams come true. While her leotards are drying Lisa Nicks /Emerald City creates postage stamp collages with new and used stamps.
