About Nikola Steer
Nikola Steer is an multidisciplinary artist, cultural designer, and producer based in Toronto. Through her ever-expanding practice, she seeks to reconnect people with their shared humanity in a world where isolating systems and technology seem to be intruding with increased acceleration. She uses storytelling, somatic practices, curiosity and play as entry points to shared questions and social discovery. Her installations and activations are designed to help us recognize bits of ourselves in the stories of others and to reacquaint ourselves with the abiding magic of being alive and in community
Nikola is also known internationally as burlesque icon, Coco Framboise. She was recently awarded by the Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas for significant impact in the promotion and propagation of the art form, for her leadership of the Toronto Burlesque Festival, and for developing countless fellow artists through her school of burlesque. She is the only artist outside of the U.S. to earn this distinction.
