nayook (nirim baluk) is a stranger, storyteller, and performer that lives and works across the lands of the Kulin Nation.
She first entered the world of performance as a storyteller, growing her practice through various forms including traditional and experimental dance, writing with a fondness for creative nonfiction and poetry, industrial style instrumental tracks for hobby-coding websites, and acting and stage performance.
Her work is often inextricable from her cultural, social, and personal identities, to which she is hoping to add ‘shapeshifter’.
occasionally checks instagram.
A note on pronouns: while the Big Three (she, he, they) may be applied interchangeably to the person I am, for peace of mind I use she/her in bios. It just doesn’t get flagged by editors as much.
