“Nina Wise joins great talent with spiritual understanding. No one else so intimately joins the sublime and the absurd, surface and depth, the high and the low. Sad and happy, mocking and loving, reassuring then unsettling, Wise produces a seemingly endless cast of characters, opening those who watch to new worlds of enchantment and adventure. I salute her generosity of spirit and the genius of her work.”
Nina improvising at Anna Halprin's 95th birthday celebration.
"I can only say one word about Nina Wise’s performance... WOW!!!!!! She came highly recommended so I decided to give her a shot. She blew me and the whole audience away. Such an amazing show— fun, intelligent, beautiful to watch and to listen to. I am now the one highly recommending her to YOU like my friends once did to me."
— Maurizio Benazzo, producer, Science and Non Duality Conference

"I have been producing a series of benefits to bring water to villages in Africa. Nina Wise has concluded the evenings with one of her signature, startling and deeply moving performances. Each time I have seen her perform, I have been convinced that this is the best of her work and yet the next time, she surprises me yet again. It is the brilliant combination of art, spirit, text and movement that makes Nina’s work so unique and so powerful."
— Roger Housden, producer, Poetry for Water, and author
